Embark on a touring bicycle adventure along the East Coast Greenway Trail, a moderate route spanning 24.6 miles (39.6 km). You will experience diverse landscapes, from quiet forests to vibrant coastal areas, with an elevation gain of 138 feet (42 metres). The journey takes approximately 2 hours and 23 minutes, offering glimpses of historic sites like Charleston's iconic Rainbow Row as you cycle through varied terrain.
When planning your ride, be aware that not all sections of the East Coast Greenway Trail are car-free. About two-thirds of the route shares the road with traffic, which can include busy streets and narrow shoulders. For example, the segment along US Highway 17 between Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, is known for these challenging conditions. It is important to have confidence navigating alongside vehicles on these shared sections.
This extensive greenway is a remarkable project, connecting 15 states and 450 communities along the entire East Coast. It offers a unique opportunity to explore an enormous diversity of nature and history, showcasing the rich tapestry of the region. The trail provides a continuous path for cyclists to discover everything from cypress swamps to bustling urban centers, making it a notable route for long-distance touring.
