The Palmetto Trail

Once it is completed, South Carolina's Palmetto Trail will run more than 425 miles from Mountains to the Sea. This ongoing project began in 1997 and new passages are opening with each season. As one of only 13 cross-state trails in the United States, it is a federally designated Millennium Legacy Trail. The trail will serve as the spine for a statewide network of paths open to walkers, bicyclists and, in some places, equestrians. By helping to make communities more walkable, the Palmetto Trail provides important health and environmental benefits. It also provides access and promotes connectivity to historic sites and important natural areas.
