Saluda River Greenway

The Greenway Trail offers an easy touring bicycle ride, covering 5.3 miles (8.5 km) with a gentle elevation gain of just 82 feet (25 metres). You can expect to complete this route in about 30 minutes, making it perfect for a relaxed outing. As you cycle, you'll enjoy picturesque views along the Broad, Saluda, and Congaree Rivers, with the paved path winding through shaded areas lined with dogwood and oak trees. Keep an eye out for the historic Columbia Canal and scenic overlooks, which are great spots for birdwatching.

When planning your visit, be aware that the Greenway Trail consists of several unconnected segments, so you might need to navigate city streets to link them up. Access points are often conveniently located near local amenities. Along the route, you'll find lighted paths, emergency call boxes, restrooms, and water fountains. Weekends and areas near parking can get busy, so consider an early start for a quieter experience.
