Sawmill Branch Trail in Summerville, SC

If you have not taken a stroll or a bike ride along the Sawmill Branch you have not partaken in on the Low Country joys of Summerville. My friend and I used to leave Scotts Mill Subdivision on our bikes and ride to the trail head and do a round trip back to home.  This was about 18 miles door-to-door and so much fun. Often times we hit downtown Summerville for a drink or lunch before our return home.  This is a 6.5 mile paved, flat trail that is approximately 10 feet wide.  A year or two ago the Dorchester Chamber Leadership class did some beautification projects along the way which made it even nicer.  While you stroll along or take a ride you'll notice it parallels the Sawmill Branch Creek where you may see wildlife or kids playing.  There are many places to park along the trail which makes it easy to get on and off and the map above can help you find some locations. The easiest is probably to go to the YMCA fields and the trail ends (or begins) there by the creek.If you go far enough and need re-fueled you can stop at the Sunoco Station on Bacon's Bridge before it splits onto Trolley for a beverage or snack. 

Go take a walk or ride and enjoy our amazing spring weather.  Grab lunch or a drink downtown and don't forget this Thursday is our 3rd Thursday.
