Description

Greenwood, SC (near Greenwood Lake)

Description:  You can almost imagine a freight train rumbling along this mostly level, 2.5-mile paved rail trail through Greenwood.  Although this is a city trail, parts of it seem quite rural.  Begin at the Palmetto Bank parking lot and you will pass backyards, aged structures, and kudzu-draped pine and hardwood trees as you journey into an isolated area of swamps and pastureland, intermingled with the back doors of local industries.  Along the way there are several benches, which offer respite for weary walkers.  The trail ends on the south side of Greenwood, and you must return the way you came.  This trail is wheelchair accessible and pets and bikes are permitted, but motorized vehicles are not.  As you walk or ride, watch for dogs and other animals that may cross the trail.  Water and facilities are not available along the trail, so plan ahead.

Length: 2.5 miles one-way.

Fees: None
