Confirmed from Pomaria Trailhead 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.
What runners say about Pomaria Trailhead Palmetto Trail
“Scenic and we'll maintained trail”
“One of my favorite places to run trails in the Midlands!”
I run with my dog out on this trail all the time. It's amazing for training too. The trail is wide enough to pass cyclists and other dogs without interference, if you just wanna keep going. I've been using it to train my girl for canicross. And plan to train her, and I, to bikejor.
One of my favorite places to run trails in the Midlands! Just far enough from Columbia to feel like you actually got out of town for a while 😊
Excellent place to take dogs for a walk. The location of parking can be misleading( no signs directing you towards the parking) The trails are relaxing and very enjoyable! Gas station and a Dollar General located within 3-5mins of trailhead entrance.
I love this nearby trail and campsite, but not too near, where I can load up the pack real quick and head out for a overnight.
