The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a 20-mile bike and walking trail that connects downtown Greenville to Travelers Rest. The trail stretches from the foothills of Blue Ridge Mountain, through the scenic Reedy River Valley, and into Travelers Rest, connecting towns like Furman University in Greenville to Clemson University in Clemson. With all these destinations along its route, it’s no wonder this trail has become one of my favorite places to ride!
It’s not just a place for beginners; you will also find plenty of challenges here. This diverse terrain offers something for everyone – from flat sections perfect for families with kids on bikes or skaters to steep climbs perfect for mountain bikers looking for serious action. This is the trail route on Google Maps. You can also find an interactive version of the trail through the City of Greenville website:
It’s mostly flat
The Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville County, which was recently named the state’s first National Recreation Trail, allows cyclists to experience the Upstate by bike.
“It is partly due to the trail that Greenville has been named one of the top 10 cities for cycling in American Bicyclist magazine,” said Mike Chapple, member of GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail. “Greenville has a tremendous amount of bike activity.”
The trail is mostly flat, paved with crushed stone, and has scenic views of wetlands, farms, and forests. The 16-mile greenway and Multi-Use Trail provide a safe haven for cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the outdoors.
Trail users are starting to bring their families, too. Chapple said children on skates and parents with baby strollers had been seen using the trail.
How long does it take to bike the trail?
The trail is 20 miles long and takes about an hour to bike in each direction.
Biking the entire Swamp Rabbit Trail from Travelers Rest to GSP Airport, then continuing on along a flat route back through Greenville, takes approximately 4 hours at a casual pace.
What are the dangerous parts of this trail I should watch out for?
There are limited dangerous parts of this trail. However, some people have been seen biking too fast and swerving into the path of pedestrians or bikers. If you are in a situation like this, do your best to slow down and say “on your left” as you pass by. It is suggested that cyclists never cross an intersection at a green light without first coming to a complete stop, and ensure that any trail users are not on their way.
Is there an alternate route I can take if the main trail is closed?
If you find yourself at a blocked portion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, please do your best to find a detour! Some people choose to walk along roads, but you can still get to your destination by biking on sidewalks. If there is a detour sign near you, please follow it!
How many people do you think this trail is used by?
The Swamp Rabbit Trail receives an average of 250,000 visitors every year. This number is projected to double over the next ten years.
What is the most scenic part of this trail?
The most scenic part of this trail is probably when it follows along the Reedy River. You can’t get a better view than that!
There are many great things to do and see on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, including 11 unique murals created by local artists. The trail is also home to a number of sculptures, including ones of a rabbit and an owl.
What kind of wildlife will I come across on this trail?
Some of the wildlife you can find along the Swamp Rabbit Trail includes red foxes, rabbits, turtles and frogs! If you’re lucky enough to be biking at night, you might be able to see some of the thousands of fireflies that come out after dark.
If you’re biking along the trail during spring, you can enjoy beautiful scenery of flowers and other plants in bloom! If it’s summertime, try to catch a glimpse of an American alligator sunning itself on the banks of one of many ponds.
While biking during wintertime, be sure to keep an eye out for horses and other large wildlife that enjoy getting some exercise on the trail during colder months.
No matter what time of year you choose to bike the Swamp Rabbit Trail, you will always see lots of different kinds of plant life!
Biking through farms
The trail, which offers public access and open space to 20,000 acres of private property, is mostly flat with a few short hills. There are several gravel parking lots along the trails.
Hikers walk from the spartan parking lot on Larkin Road onto the Swamp Rabbit Trail and immediately cross under Interstate 85 into a leafy oasis of ponds and wetlands, old farms and cottonwood trees.
This is a joint effort between Greenville County, Furman University, the city of Greenville and Travel. It was unveiled in October 2009.
“The Swamp Rabbit Trail is one of a kind,” Chapple said. “It’s the first trail in South Carolina that is part of the East Coast Greenway, a proposed 3,000-mile network of trails that will stretch from Calais, Maine to Key West, Fla.”
It certainly is unique for Greenville County. The trail provides access for hikers and bikers near downtown Greenville. It has 16 miles of mostly flat paved walkways with only one or two hills. There are several gravel parking lots along the trail.
Most of the north-south trail follows an abandoned rail line that was built in 1902 by the Greenville and Western Railway Company.
Furman University students have seen a change since the trail opened near campus in 2008. “The trail has been wonderful,” said senior Allison McCarthy, 22.
“It brings a lot of people to campus who otherwise might not have come.”
A safe haven for downtowners
Trail users are starting to bring their families, too. “We’ve begun seeing more children on skates and parents with baby strollers,” Chapple said.
Gerry Carrigan lives in downtown Greenville and walks the trail often. “I walk at least 10 miles a week on this trail,” he said.
“I see people out here all the time, young and old, biking and walking. It’s beautiful down there.”
The trail users are starting to attract businesses along the route as well.
How to get to the swamp rabbit trailhead
The trail is actually starting from south east of Conestee lake where a parking lot is available. Just follow the trail for a few miles to get started. Several miles of greenway are already finished and the trail extends into a large area.
This is a great idea for beginners who are just looking to ride around Greenville or do some exercises. You can walk all day long or run if you want. The trail is pretty flat everywhere you go, so it’s a great idea to use for people who really love water and taking nature walks.
Beside Conestee lake, there are several other ways of reaching the trail midway.
- The most direct route is via Main Street, which runs along the northern edge of downtown Greenville through a busy commercial district. At its intersection with Academy Street, Main intersects Church Street and at this point the Swamp Rabbit Trail picks up. Parking is available at nearby public lots on Academy Street and Church Street.
- The trail can also be reached from several multi-use paths in the southeastern part of Greenville, such as Duncan Park, Cleveland Park and Southside Trail. Each of these can be accessed by driving to the parking lot at Lee Burns Elementary School on Old Easley Highway. The trail runs through the school grounds (closed to vehicular traffic).
- An alternative approach is via South Carolina Highway 14 in the northern part of downtown Greenville. From I-385, take exit 8 toward Belmont onto McBee Avenue, a major thoroughfare connecting downtown with the northern suburbs. At its intersection with North Street and Stone Avenue, continue ahead on Stone across the Reedy River and turn left onto East North Street. At the intersection with South Carolina Highway 14, turn right. Park on one of the spaces near the bridge over the Reedy River. The trail runs along SC-14 before turning into a greenway west of Batesville Road.
- From downtown Greenville, take Main Street south past Academy Street, Church Street and the intersection with South Carolina Highway 14 until reaching Easley Road. Turn left onto Easley and park in one of the spaces near the bridge over Reedy River. The trail runs along SC-14 before turning into a greenway west of Batesville Road.
LAUREL CREEK TRAIL EXPANSION
In 2014, Greenville County made an agreement with Furman University and Travel Greenville to create a trail from Swamp Rabbit Trail in Dawson Forest all the way to Verdae. This new part of trail will be called Laurel Creek Trail. There are many details that need to be worked out before construction can begin, so it is unknown how long construction will take.
Once the trail is finished, about 20 miles of multi-use trails will let bike riders experience South Carolina’s Upstate for years to come.
Most of the north-south trail follows an abandoned rail line that was built in 1902 by the Greenville and Western Railway Company; it was later abandoned in 1978. This railroad is now the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
The trail runs through Greenville, SC, and connects with Furman University, which has built a gravel parking lot for those that would like to park their car and begin their biking journey from there. Travel Greenville Inc. currently holds an easement on the Rail Corridor for future connections with other trails in the County.
The trail has 16 miles of mostly flat paved walkways with only one or two hills; it also offers a variety of surfaces for cyclists (concrete, asphalt, and dirt). These factors have helped the trail become popular for runners, pedestrians, and bikers.
There are several gravel parking lots.
Bike rentals in Greenville,
Many of the stores along the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Travel Greenville’s area sponsor bike rentals.
“The trail has really helped our business,” said Andy Sproles, owner of Refreshments Plus in Travel Greenville’s area. “I’ve always been a cyclist myself.”
Sproles said that he used to ride his bike from Travel Greenville’s area to Furman University but now he can drive his truck.
“I love the trail,” Carrigan said. “It makes living and working downtown so much more enjoyable.”
No one is complaining, especially in springtime when it’s hard to imagine an easier way to get out of downtown Greenville than following the trail to the wetlands on Larkin Road.
Larkin Road would be another good starting point because it leads directly into Travel Greenville’s area, where you can rent a bike at several of its stores. At least four shops offer bike rentals and some of them also sell bikes.

Medusa Tree a.k.a “Root Tree”
Located on what is now the Greenville Country Club golf course, this tree gets its name from its many exposed roots. The story of this tree dates back to 1874 when a man named Ben Franklin Pearson was cutting trees in the area with his son-in-law, Frank Furguson. It was during this time that Pearson’s wife died, and he came across this tree whose roots were exposed. He believed that the curling of the exposed tree roots around his dead wife’s shoe resembled a woman’s hair.
Due to its ghostly appearance, it was dubbed “The Medusa Tree.”
