Multi-Use Trail

Multi-Use Trail
Three Rivers Greenway
(Columbia)

Description: This is an easy walking paved trail, which follows the banks of the Congaree River in Cayce and West Columbia. You will wind through a shaded forest which includes ash, oak, sycamore, sweet gum, paper mulberry, paw paw, and river birch to a canopy of kudzu. You may also encounter a wide variety of birds and animals, especially chimney swifts who nest under the bridges. Benches at various points provide an opportunity to stop and just sit, listen to the river, and enjoy the outdoors. At the end of the newest extension you will see the remains of the locks once used by riverboats.

Lights, call boxes, and patrols by police provide safety. Restrooms are provided at two points. Pets are allowed on a leash. Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.
