Confirmed from Peak To Prosperity Passage of the Palmetto Trail'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.
Pretty trail for walking, biking, camping and running.
What runners say about Peak To Prosperity Passage of the Palmetto Trail
“Since it was a beautiful Saturday morning, we saw many friendly people on the trail.”
“Beautiful location, very easy trail suitable for hiking, running, and biking.”
My wife and I hiked the almost 11 miles Saturday and enjoyed the mostly flat trail. We saw a water snake along the trail and numerous birds. Since it was a beautiful Saturday morning, we saw many friendly people on the trail. Most were walking, riding, and a few were jogging.
Beautiful trail, easy to walk, very peaceful. There is lots to see, wild ferns, water runs on one side, and many marine plants at times on the opposite side. There is a fun spot for camping or a nice picnic right before the rail bridge with no side rails. Really a beautiful spot.
This is a beautiful little trail! So many pretty bridges over the creek. Great for an easy walk with lovely views of nature. The terrain is very flat, stroller/bike friendly, and does have some picnic benches along the way. Very doable for elderly or small children.
Nice trail for walking, running or biking. Flat and isolated from any traffic. several bridges and trestles to cross including the big one over the Broad River. This is a 6.5 mile section of a much longer trail across the state. So lucky to have this so close!
