More Rails to Trails
- Missouri's Katy Trail
  This trail runs 225 miles along the Missouri River through the small towns of the Show-Me State's wine county.
- Virginia Creeper Trail
  Located in Southwest Virginia, this trail is ideal for family cruisers, most of whom coast a 17-mile downhill from Whitetop Mountain to the tiny town of Damascus.

The Ride
A former rail line, this 13.5-mile South Carolina trail is blissfully flat and traffic-free, connecting Greenville to Travelers Rest along a scenic stretch of the Reedy River. Roll beneath Liberty Bridge in Greenville’s Falls Park, adjacent to dramatic waterfalls. At the midpoint, a connector path meanders around Furman Lake.

Your Guide
You. (It’s hard to get lost.) You can hitch a ride back on one of Greenville’s buses, equipped with bike racks to offer “shuttles” to and from Travelers Rest. For more info on the trail, visit Greenville Rec.

You'll Love It If...
You’ve got kids or hate traffic. It’s straight, hill-free, and closed to cars.

Gear Up
Reedy Rides will deliver a bicycle to you, with a helmet, bag, and lock.
