East Coast Greenway - South Carolina

South Carolina

Welcome to the East Coast Greenway in South Carolina

Myrtle Beach, SC

In South Carolina, the ECG route stays near the coast through the state’s low country, bringing travelers through Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, Charleston, Beaufort, and Savannah. Completed trails furthest north include the Barefoot Resort section of the North Myrtle Beach Trail, the Harrelson Boulevard Trail, and Grissom Parkway Trails in Myrtle Beach. Continuing south, three segments of the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway are coming together to offer safe travel through Georgetown County. The route continues on road to Mount Pleasant, where a separated bike/ped path on the Ravenel Bridge leads travelers onto Charleston’s West Ashley Greenway. Further south, Bluffton's New River Trail brings users through antebellum rice fields with great bird-watching potential.

Trail Status & Plans

Of the 296-mile route through South Carolina, 11% is currently on trails, and another 16% is in development. All but 90 miles have been mapped out for future trail, and the ECGA is working closely with agencies, municipalities, and organizations throughout the state to get trail on the ground and find solutions for the 90 gap miles. The State Committee is headquartered at the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, and progress in the Charleston area is occuring rapidly as the city is making great strides towards becoming as bike and pedestrian friendly as possible.
