The Colonel Robert Bell Path is a paved 1.7-mile long trail that begins off the intersection of Mark Garner Highway and 62nd Ave N. The trail is mostly flat and is protected from traffic as it passes through wooded areas. It briefly runs alongside the Robert M. Grissom Parkway as it crosses over the Intracoastal Waterway.
It connects the Carolina Forest Bike & Run Park on the north bank of the Intracoastal Waterway to the Grissom Parkway Trail, a paved 6.4-mile trail that runs southwest along Robert M. Grissom Parkway. Functionally, the Colonel Robert Bell Path and Grissom Parkway Trail are a continuous paved path, which allow for a longer trail experience.
At the Frontage Road B-2 end of the trail, the Colonel Robert Bell Path connects to the Horry County Bike Run Park, which is a more a challenging multi-use trail.
Parking is available at Queens Cove Park just off Frontage Road B-2 (Myrtle Beach, SC 29579) and at Horry County Bike Run Park (150 Frontage Road B-2).
