It is a beautiful wetlands area, and a relatively easy hike not far from the urban areas of Columbia, SC. well worth the trip. It is not well known, even locally, and not heavilly traveled.

Alston, South Carolina, United States
Mountain biking | 22 miles
Mountain biking | 22 miles
The Palmetto trail is envisioned to be a trail across the entire state of South Carolina, but it is still a disconnected series of trails at this time. The Peaks To Prosperity Passage is an 11 mile completed rail trail section that passes over 17 trestles in that 11 miles. Nice trail, but hard work on a mountain bike, as it is mostly railroad aggregate surface.
This is a ride encompassing the ridge trail and several of the parameter trails at Oak Mountain. This is nowhere near all of the trails... there are hiking only trials and more bike trails I didn't even get to. This ride, however, is awesome for the technical mountain bike rider.
This is a relatively new trail from the urban area of Lexington out to Kentucky Horse Park. The trailside scenery ranges from city streets to gorgeous horse farms. This is a beautiful and relatively easy ride that shows what Kentucky is all about.
This track covers the Stones River Greenway and Shelby Bottoms Greenway, along with some trips down side trails and alternate routes. This is a beautiful area, with a purpose-built pedestrian/bike suspension bridge over the Cumberland river. Trails have few grade level crossings, mostly with tunnels under roads.
This is a beautiful greenway about 30 mile south of Nashville. It runs from the historic downtown of Murfreesboro along the Stones River Greenway. This track shows the bicycles allowed section of the trail, and the trail goes on from that point for foot traffic. Not real long, but well worth the drive. The trailhead is at a small part that is populated with old buildings from what looks like a town in the old...

This trip encompasses two greenways (Shelby Farms Greenway and Wolf River Greenway) and internal park trails at Shelby Farms Park. There are some double tracked areas that were unavoidable as I attempted to ride every paved trail in the combined area. This is a nice trail, partially on an old rail line, that is very flat, making for easy riding. As you can tell from the pictures, this is a really beautiful...
This trail is right off I-35 at exit 33 in Ardmore, OK. There are three lakes within a close proximity, and these trails are on the west side of City lake, the most southern of the three. There are both paved and new packed gravel trails. This GPS track shows packed gravel trails that had the gravel laid as of the time of the track, but they are adding additional trail at a...
Nestled inside the Inverness area off highway 280 are several small lakes, one of which has a hiking and walking trail around it. This trail is beautiful and quiet, yet just a few hundred yards away from one of the busiest highways in Birmingham. The trail passes through the patio areas outside of business buildings and through the forest around the lake for eight tenths of a mile. It is near the...

This trip will be a work in progress... I will add new tracks for various...

It runs through several small coastal communities and has some really awesome views of forested inland coastal Florida. It is a relatively flat ride and well maintained outside of urban areas. There are no beach views.That was the good part... This trail has long sections in overdeveloped coastal communities where it...
