Greenville, South Carolina – 200 miles round trip
Total miles on bike: 36.84

The Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail Network is a 28-mile multi-use (walking and bicycling) greenway that traverses along the Reedy River, an old railroad corridor and City parks to connect Travelers Rest with the City of Greenville, South Carolina.
Parking – there are several parking places along the trail – I parked at the Cleveland Park – it is right next to the Greenville zoo and has bathrooms. Going to the right as you are looking at the trail will take you to Greenville and then onto Travelers Rest.
Mileage from Cleveland Park to Travelers Rest: 11.82 miles with an elevation gain of 356 ft. In Travelers rest the trail he trail runs along Main street for a while and then extends north for another 6 or 7 miles – I did not do this part on this trip.
This route is very popular with many walkers, joggers and cyclist of many ages – you need to be careful. The trail up to Travelers Rest runs under canopies of big shade trees so you are fairly protected from the sun.

Driving up and back in one day after riding 36 miles was a little much. Next time, I would like to spend the night and do the whole trail. On May 23, 2019, Pam and I spent the night in Travelers Rest and did part of the trail. Pam wasn’t feeling great – I think it was the start of her cancer.

The ride was easy and fun and I would recommend to riders of any age and ability
