Thanks bikeoid. I appreciate the link. Why is it considered part of the SRT when it's not even connected to the main trail?

I love that it's a start and hopefully it gets added onto.

Usually when I'm out on a run/walk, I go at least 5miles and in the Ft Inn/Simpsonville area there just aren't that many places to go off roads. I really see a need for a long nice trail because of all the bikes I see out and about on the main roads.

I usually just find me some nice country roads or go in different neighborhoods for variety.

I'd love to see the SRT extend from Fountain Inn to meet the main trail. Is there any way we can get involved to help with this?

I would love to see that also, is it even possible? Are there any maps out there indicating a possible route?

There was a group trying to get a trail going in Simpsonville.

Here is the 2009 master plan - of course things will change based on the budget and what has already been learned: Greenville Greenways Master Plan

The only thing I can think of is that the Greenways Master Plan could eventually bring trails out that far, but I haven't heard a definite explanation.

Everyone can now have an input to future trail grant money. Go to 2012 RTP Grants - Greenville Rec, read the presentations, and write your own letters if you have any additional input.

Don't forget to send an email to the email address on the last page of each presentation to confirm that you've read it!

I come from Five Forks as well and park at the Linky Stone Park off River Street. It is less than 2 miles to the zoo and you pass the beautiful falls on the way. We go to the zoo, let the kids play on the playground and then run back to Linky. You could park at the zoo and go from there as well.
