An idea conceived in 1994, The Palmetto Trail is an ambitious South Carolina project connecting the Atlantic coast with the Blue Ridge mountains. When completed, the trail will cover over 425 continuous miles and run through 14 counties.<br />
290 miles are completed and currently available for public use. <br />

PALMETTO TRAIL - LAKE MOULTRIE PASSAGE: <br />
<br />
24 mile path connecting the Swamp Fox Passage with the Eutaw Springs Passage. Mostly level, sand and gravel dikes. Plenty of views of Lake Moultrie. Hiking, backpacking and mountain biking. Easy trail during good conditions.
To the eastern trailhead: From I-26, drive northeast on US 17A or US 52 and pass through Moncks Corner. When US 17A and US 52 split, stay on US 52. The trailhead is 3.6 miles on the left at the US Forest Service Canal Recreation Area. <br /><br /><br /><br />To the western trailhead: From Santee, drive southeast on US 6 to Eutawville where US 45 will join US 6. Continue on US 6/45 until they split, then turn north on US 45. The trailhead is on the right just after you cross the diversion canal.
