You will glide along a flat, paved rail-trail, shaded by ancient live oaks draped with iconic Spanish moss. The route offers expansive views of salt marshes and waterways, where you might spot coastal wildlife like roseate spoonbills. With only 193 feet (59 metres) of elevation gain, this ride takes about 1 hour and 48 minutes, making it a relaxing journey for all skill levels. You can also look for the historic 1901 Spanish Moss Trail Train Depot along the way.
Planning your ride on the Spanish Moss Trail is straightforward, with multiple parking areas available at various trailheads. You will find benches for resting and pet waste stations conveniently placed along the route. Some access points even provide bike repair stations and restrooms for your comfort.

This paved rail-trail is a highlight of the region, transforming an old railway line into a vibrant corridor for outdoor activity.
