Palmetto Trail (Peak, South Carolina) State Road S-20-35, Peak, SC 29122

"I absolutely love coming here, I have been coming here since i was little. Always a great place to come back to. I've also fished with my dad here too. so many happy memories. Definitely recommended coming here. sometimes they add new things like signs and stuff to the trail too."

"Awesome, historic, beautiful section of the Palmetto trail. I love the creepy road leading into it, but also, the place itself is not creepy at all. Though it has few visitors from what I saw, there is a picnic area and a primitive campground. The bridge itself has lots of history. There was a town called Alston, and it was wiped out by a flood - that is why the bridge is here. It's very historic and when you cross it, you reach the town of Peak, which I did not expect to be so awesome. It is a very small town, but everyone there was friendly and seemed very "human" if that makes sense. When you are on the bridge, if you look north, you will see Hampton Island, which is a very large and mysterious island. Further down that way is the Parr Shoals Reservoir, but you cannot see it from this bridge. I also saw some creepy abandoned elevated structure to the right of Hampton Island on the mainland, and I am unsure what it is. If you are ever in this area, you must see this bridge and the surrounding area and their history!"

"We took trail 1 and it was so pretty and felt like I was walking down history path. So many squirrels different trees just got to be careful with that Ivey!!! The bridge was an old railroad track underneath there was a bunch of alligator gar big turtles and even a few muskrats. Water seemed really still made for a bunch of really good photographs if you love nature and walks this is a place you should go!!!"

"This trail is absolutely beautiful! I've lived here for years and never knew this place existed. My husband and I and our 2 and 5 year old enjoyed it so much. The trestle bridge over the Broad River is amazing and has such pretty views. There are picnic tables right by the river and benches too just to stop and enjoy the scenery. The trail is very flat and easy to walk. Very easy for elderly or small children. We even had a stroller with us and it was no problem. As long as it has good tires, you are good. The parking location by the trestle bridge right at the Broad River is the beginning of the trail, but there are multiple other access places to the trail. At first we actually parked across from the Peak Pharmacy and went in from there on the opposite side of the river. And before that we drove to Pomaria and parked at the Palmetto Trail parking area near Wilson's convenience store and walked a mile or so on that part of the trail. That access point is about the mid point of the 10 mile trail. Lots of pretty woods and smaller bridges over little creeks and pretty nature views."
