Run the West Ashley Greenway (West Ashley)

// August 17th, 2009 // Charleston Running, Uncategorized

Paralleling Highway 17 but far enough away to escape the noise, this 10.5 mile hard-packed dirt path ideal for running begins at the Ashley River and continues to the Stono River. You’ll pass through neighborhoods and parks as the route grows increasingly rural before opening up onto the marsh and the Stono.

West Ashley Greenway Directions:

Take Hwy 17 S to left on Folly Rd. and park behind EarthFare grocery store on your right. The trail passes behind the shopping center. To have closer access to the marsh, keep in mind the trail is usually only a few blocks off Hwy 17 so consider parking on Farmfield Ave. or McLeod Rd.
