Rail Trail
West Ashley Greenway
(Charleston, SC)
Trail Map
Description:
Although flat and easy, the 10.5-mile, out-and-back West Ashley
Greenway is a gem of a trail in the southwest part of Charleston. This
100-foot wide, mostly hard-packed dirt corridor is a pleasant greenway
that starts at a residential and commercial area, then parallels US 17
past neighborhoods, schools, parks, and a marsh before
reaching Johns Island and the turn-around point.
Length:
10.5 miles one way.
Fees:
None.
Directions:
From downtown Charleston, drive west on US 17 and cross the Ashley
River. About half-mile after the bridge, turn left onto Folly Road (SC
171). At the second light, turn right into South Windermere Shopping
Center. You can begin the trail behind the center on the right.
Hours:
Dawn to dusk
Camping:
No camping.
