Oklawaha Greenway

Just right!

September, 2024 by kyle131

Just what I was looking for: easily accessible, thoughtfully designed and well maintained, beautifully picturesque in places! Just the right length to be a good workout if you do the whole thing or for smaller jaunts between the little parks in connects. This trail would be ideal for a group outing where the members are at different ages and abilities. Children and walkers could start at the Pet Park on 7th St., for example, and go north through the pretty, level, middle section that runs along the creek while the bicyclers cover the longer distance.

Oklawaha Greenway

Nice Greenway connecting several parks. Much of it follows power lines. Not really scenic. Nice asphalt trail. Quiet. I wouldn't make a point of coming back.

Shame to include a corporation in the name

Nice place to walk. Gross to include a medical corporation in the name though. Gives it such a negative energy.

Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail

Great Trail, Misleading Length.

August, 2024 by jakedavies

I love this trail. It's not perfect, but I love the mix of rural, city, and the various spurs. In total, the trail may be 29 miles with the spurs, but from A to B on the main line, it's less than 16 miles from Greenville Tech to trail end in Travelers Rest. A fantastic length, just misleading to say it's more. The southern section connecting to Conestee Park is a different trail entirely (was a gravel road last I attempted it and didn't seem like a safe area), and shouldn't be included in the total. If the trails were to be connected somehow, not divided by miles of riding ON busy roads or dangerous out-of-shape sidewalks along an even busier road, perhaps then the 28-mile claim would be legitimate.

North End Parking

August, 2024 by z95s54hd8d

The very northern end of the trail starts just off Tate Road in Travelers Rest. You can’t park there. Park at the Ingles grocery store on Geer Road about a quarter mile away. We thoroughly enjoyed the trail. Swamp Rabbit Cafe is ten miles from the northern starting point.

Bike/Trike Riders

July, 2024 by amy2paul

We were camping at Yogi Bear Resort in Bostic, NC and drove m trike and husband’s bike to the trail. It is a very nice trail, with well maintained, wide asphalt paths. More than half is shaded and through nature with the other parts parallelling roads and shops. You cross several roads but the crossings are well marked and almost everyone stopped to let us cross even when they had the right of way. Very enjoyable ride.

Very Enjoyable. Perfect for us. 65 years old

June, 2024 by wpatterson1

June 22, 2024 92 degrees Rode e-bike. Parked at Forrest Hunt School lot. Path was very wide and smooth. Great markings for traffic. Restroom and water on the trail. Lots of shade! Several restaurants along the main road. Mile 1 or north, is more rural. Some pretty views of the mountains. We enjoyed it and will be back again.

Fantastic Trail

June, 2024 by fkelly17

Rode this trail on June 7th, 2024 and it was an awesome ride. We started at the northern trailhead and rode 10 miles south and back. Super wide and very smooth asphalt the whole way. There were some downed trees from a Thunderstorm the night before blocking part of the trail on the way out but the cleanup crew had reopened it on our way back. So, very well maintained trail. Highly recommend.
