Lower Saluda Greenway Feasibility Study
Now more than ever, the need for safe, comfortable outdoor recreation opportunities is apparent. Throughout the Midlands of South Carolina, Greenway and trail use is growing exponentially in popularity. The Central Midlands Council of Governments (CMCOG) is conducting a feasibility study to provide a detailed look at how the Lower Saluda Greenway can connect with the larger Greenway network and to adjacent residential and commercial areas. The proposed trail, once constructed, will consist of a 10.5-mile multi-use, paved pathway. The path will extend along the north side of the Saluda River from the Johnny W. Jeffcoat Walkway at the Lake Murray Dam to the Three Rivers Greenway at the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden. The Greenway will provide walking, bicycling and wheeling access to many communities and surrounding amenities.
The Lower Saluda Greenway Feasibility Study further defined the Greenway's mission, purpose, and need; identified potential environmental and cultural resources that should have direct access; provided opportunities for public input; and created a concept plan and cost estimates.
