Confirmed from Doodle Trail, Easley's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring a kiddie playground, picnic tables, and a paved trail popular with walkers and bikers.
What runners say about Doodle Trail, Easley
“Playground area is clean and new but not impressive - pretty small and not much stuff.”
“We only explored it for an hour, but from what we saw it's a beautiful trail for waking, running, and of course cycling, and we sae folks doing all of those.”
I use to walk the Doodle Trail towards Pickens, until it opened going in the direction of downtown Easley. It was a little creepy walking in the opposite direction. That area is real woody, the other direction takes you toward Wilbur Street. I’m familiar with that area of the Doodle Trail because I grew up there.
We live off this trail and use it every day for walking, dog walking, and cycling. It's wonderful from end to end. It runs between Pickens and Easley, which both offer farmer's markets, shopping, and great restaurants. I love the Doodle Trail!
Very nice trail to walk and bike on. Truly a hidden gem in Easley. Great country views. Not overcrowded as the swamp rabbit trail can get. And it's challenging too a few good long hills to go up. Fun going down too! I like the area I posted a couple photos of here. It's close to the park in downtown Easley.
Doodle Trail, which stretches from Easley to Pickens, South Carolina, is a wonderful place for kids and adults alike to get some fresh air and exercise. Both ends of the trail (one in Easley and one in Pickens) have a nice park for the kiddos to play, including playground equipment.

“We only explored it for an hour, but from what we saw it's a beautiful trail for waking, running, and of course cycling, and we sae folks doing all of those.”
“It would also be nice to see a water fountain but I don't know if that's economically practical or possible.”
“We live off this trail and use it every day for walking, dog walking, and cycling.”
