This Trail must have cost a gazillion dollars. It is a concrete 3.5 Mile Trail with hairpin turns throughout. We also got to leter rip on some nearby secluded roads and ended up having just over fourteen fun miles. Never heard of it before... Just found it on a map while headed home to Ohio. Ample parking for our truck and 16 ft trailer. No bathrooms that I could see.

This trail is a great place to ride your bike. It was so quiet and clear of debris. Easy to navigate as well

I had an awesome time.Just a little hurt, because I lost one of the gold earrings. In which my mother give me, shortly before she went to be with the Lord.

Beautiful trail. I typically bike ride, but walking and jogging is fun here, too. Ive seen squirrels, raccoons and now deer along the trail. Beautiful spot to hear and see nature near the city.

One of Columbia’s nicer parks. A quiet walk through the woods that has a couple of nice loops and bridges in the 1h range.

Great medium length trail. Parking decent. Went with a great group of people called the Columbia Outdoor Adventure Network.

Currently my favorite trail in greater Columbia SC. There are a few different access points I like the one in Cayce by Dominion Energy. Lots of shade along the trail, garage/recycling cans to dispose of water bottles etc, trails are pretty wide for the most part(easy to social distance). It’s so nice my 9&11yr old daughters surprised me and walked over 7miles round trip. It’s free and healthy!!

Nice and shady walking trail. Not too busy and streetlamps come on at dusk in case you suddenly are still far away from your goal at that time. Only problem I have is it is poorly marked. No directional signs or distance markers. Also, no patrolling. It could be dangerous for a lone walker or those unprepared in an emergency. Just for information....

Gorgeous scenery, very peaceful, plenty of wildlife to watch. Gator, deer, owls etc

Such a great way to enjoy some outdoor time....very safe.

Really diverse trail, lots of ecosystems but easy to navigate, as its paved. We went to find certain species of butterflies and it did not disappoint!

I absolutely love this trail! It is never crowded, people you do encounter are friendly. The trail is pretty wide to accommodate bikes, runners/ walkers and I have even been roller blading and it was just great! You can see a lot of SC wildlife including the occasional American alligator! But dont worry about getting too close to the gators, the paved trail keeps you a safe distance away from the water. I highly recommend this trail for some alone time or family time!

Theres little that can beat the beautiful simplicity of a bike ride. Scenic views of the Congaree river, beautiful wooden boardwalks and bridges to end a perfect weekend away from people!

We really enjoyed the environment and scenery. Its a nice and relaxing place

Great trail to walk, run, or bike. Make sure you bring water. There are no restrooms on the trail. Shady paved trail paths and scenic river views. Several bridges to walk over as well. The trail extends to neighborhood in Cayce that connects to another section of the trail that has been closed since the Oct flood a few years ago. The trail paths are wider than most paved trails which makes it better for biking. The trail is maintained, and free of debris. There is also a trail that leads to the creek for canoe access. The trail head is also easy to find and beautiful in the Spring and Fall.

Great trail for biking. This was our first time so Im sure there is more to explore but we did a 3.5 mile loop twice in under an hour. Trees lined almost the entire trail so next time we may go earlier. Not very crowded, but everyone we passed were very pleasant. Great place to walk, run or bike.

Awesome, clean trail. Beautiful scenery.

Great place for one wheel for anybody who has a onewheel i highly recommend this trail

Great paved trail. Easy on the feet. Great for kids or strollers.

The map signage is poor. Trail great!

Very nice paved path. Good for walking Poppa. Hiking and bike as well

Great trails for walking and biking.

Great trail for walking, jogging or biking. It’s pet friendly, but be sure and bring bags for your pets.

Great trail for walking/running/biking, only draw back is we found no restrooms. There should be at least port o potties at beginning and 1or2 down the trail. Still it was all paved concrete. Extremely nice with that one exception. Law enforcement was traveling down trail on four wheelers. Another plus.

Fantastic nature trail. Perfect for biking

Great walking and jogging spot so close to downtown Columbia. Lots of bicyclist visit Timmerman Trail too. This is part of a heritage preserve with a rather pristine natural setting and some history. If youre lucky, you may spot an alligator. Definitely get out and enjoy nature by checking this place out.

Super peaceful, great views and not overly crowded. Visiting out of state and was looking for a great place to run and this place is great!

Great place to walk, run, or ride your bike. Signage could be a little better. Wish they had mile markers.

My family biked over 7 miles here yesterday and we all loved it! Even though it had been raining for several days prior, the trails were in good shape and safe. The woods and trails are beautiful and give you the sense that youre away in the mountains. We saw a deer and two snakes along the river bank along with your typical woodland birds and squirrels. The trails are wide enough to pass others without fear of running one another off the path. The park IS pet friendly. There are multiple parking areas, so do be sure to check signage if youre meeting up with others. This is an awesome (and not overly crowded) place to go on a date, have a family outing or just exercise alone. Although I have not personally been in the evenings I did notice that they have ample lighting and emergency call boxes. There are picnic tables and benches, so its a lovely place to get your picnic on. I have been twice and definitely plan to return.

They have added more historical markers along the trail and benches. I cant wait to do the longer walk along the Congaree to see whats there.

Could have been a Good ride , but the city of Cayce had part of the riverwalk trail locked off so you could only go on less than half of it . And the roads between the two halves were not connected so you cant even do a go around without going all the way out to 12th street .

I love this trail such a beautiful place

Well kept board walk with beautiful trees as the canopy

Columbia’s hidden gem. This is literally my fav outdoor trail in Columbia. It’s never crowded and mostly in the shade so even on a really hot day it feels cool.

This is a great place to go walking, biking, and running. The trail is paved and goes along side the Congaree Creek. The trail is lit at night. From a historical point of view a lot of things have happened here.

Paths are clean of debris, all paths are labeled well. Plenty of lighting.

Dont let spider bridge fool you...this is a great walking trail! The wide concrete paths and boardwalks make this an ideal stroll. There are even street lamps out here for evening excursions...just mind the parking lot closing time. Very excited to find this trail and will definitely be returning. As I understand it, this is part of the full Riverwalk trail. I am interested in exploring more of it at this point. Not sure I can make the whole 8 miles of it as it is not a loop but could certainly break it down into parts.

Wonderful time there on 3/27. Biking and geocaching.

Good clean path. Sign at the door says no motorized vehicles except as permitted by the ADA. The definition for that is not defined in the Cayce ordinances as of 9/6/19. I was on my electric unicycle at a walking pace.There was small traffic on a weekday morning. Folks were nice. Trashcan is pictured. I wish the website was updated to include more rules and expectations. Some boards on the walkways are soft, so be careful.

Love my walk amongst nature

Its a pretty nice trail and a decent mtb workout. Though the trail is not long there are plenty of loops and back trails to pickup 15 miles of riding. The only downside was that I didnt see any bathrooms or water fountains or even gas stations in area. So come prepared!

Great spot for biking, except for maybe a few really sharp turns, and easy trail for some walking or jogging too. The place was very well kept, and while we didnt run into to very many workers, the few that we did encounter were very nice and helpful. The maps are a little on the confusing side, but the trail was very well defined and complete with many exits if you did happen to get lost.

Great walking trail, bicyclists are very courteous and share the trail with walkers.

Such a splendid shaded and wide paved path. Lovely views of stream, wildflowers, and birds singing throughout the trail. Walkers, Joggers, Bike riders, and folks with dogs and kids. Clean and maintained well. FYI no bathroom at parking lot or on trail.

Very nice place to ride bikes, walk, or jogging. Not too crowded, beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Beautiful, clean...trail markers with miles would be good.

This is a great trail. Concrete paved trails are great for walking or biking.

Very nice and secluded

I absolutely love this trail. Well maintained trail and shaded for the most part.

Highly recommend. Great for a run.

Great place to run/walk or just relax. If you get there early enough in the morning youll get see to plenty of deer!

Once you get to the fork, if you turn left and go across the bridge, it becomes spiders spiders spiders. They are everywhere, and really big. Their webs go across the bridge and the trail after that, forcing you to duck or step around them, so if you hate spiders, wouldn’t recommend this trail.

This is a very lovely Scenic walk through the woods. Its all paved. Unfortunately there are no bathrooms out here and very few places to stop and rest. Alligators can be seen in the summertime in the creek. If you come down here very early in the morning around sunrise you can see deer as well.

Lovely paved trail in the woods. I think its about 6 miles if you do the whole thing it kinda makes a loop in the middle. Is paved and has tree coverage the trail goes by the river. Nice to walk, bike, run and wheelchair accessible. Just wished there were bathrooms and water fountains.

This is a gem of a find so near downtown Columbia. It is nice to see such an emphasis on preserving natural places for us to enjoy. Take a leisurely stroll or serious long hike—just get out there and take a forrest bath! You will be refreshed!

Beautiful, rich in history

All paved, would be nice not to have sidewalk through the whole length of park. Still great walking or jogging area.

Great trail for bikers and walking. Lots of shade with benches thought out. Beautiful scenery as well. If starting for the scanner 12 street entry and connecting to the river front. The two connected from beginning to end and back is almost 14 miles. Take a friend and have a blast in mid day and you dont even notice the heart unti you are in direct sunlight; Which is not very much.Happy Trailing!!!

A bit buggy and not a lot of breeze but plenty of shade. Not hilly and can easily bike here. Connects to lower Riverwalk portion.

Great place to bike or walk with the condition of the beautiful trail and nature. Never know what youll see. Saw a family of dear quite a few times. Their are some snakes, but rare. Its beautiful and free to public.

Well lit trail although at night the spiders do like to make their webs in the middle of the walk as well as looking for a meal on the trail. Much more enjoyable during the daytime, much less spider activity.

Nice park, got robbed. While on the trail my sisters car was broken into

We always love this great trail

Seriously should be renamed banana spider trail. They are everywhere and we only went maybe halfway down the trail and turned around I didnt have my EpiPen which I didnt think I needed. Yeah will not be going there again. ️

Nice fun and free

Nice and shaded,nice bridges,good place to go for a stroll through the woods or follow the connecting trails and go all the way downtown by bike.

Serene and gorgeous out here. Gods work at its finest. Can run into wild animals out here. Keep a stick or Mase just in case.

Paved walking, running and biking trails thru beautiful natural wooded area. Very quiet. Lacks bathrooms or water fountains. Multiple trails and we found the trail markers a little confusing.

Great trail for the family

You might even find a nice cotton mouth

Great place to bike ride, kid friendly. Very nice scenery.

Great but the next area is blocked off due to a walkway that is out. The website doesnt state that the bridge was out. Would like the site updated to list when it will be fixed.

Wonderful trail! It is all paved and winds around creaks and runs next to the river. The path is kept clear of leaves, limbs, and fallen trees. It is lit at night!!! Very important in the winter. It seems to be a lead known trail system as there usually arent many people there.Lit and well maintained!

A staple to me and my children. Been going even before it was made a public accessible trail

Great place for a peaceful walk

Loved the beautiful nature on the course and bridges. Very relaxing.

Nice shaded trails

Great place to go for a walk in the woods. Paved path, wheel chair accessible

Easy access and nice walkway

Great place to walk and ride your bike and Skate

Great place to ride. Winding canapied trails. Needs rest rooms at 12th Street parking area

Another beautiful trail that takes you back in time

Once we were passed the loud highway, it was a super nice walk!!

Awesome place

Wonder Trail along the Congaree River

Nice hiking trail.

Great place to walk or watch the full eclipse s

Great place to go for a run or a short bike ride

Great hike. Friendly people, watch out for the bikes!

Great trail for walking &/or bicycling

Always enjoy this trail and lots of nice shade!

Best time ever!

I like it always

Great place.

Great trail!

Great lighting, great maintenance

Shaded, quiet and lengthy trails

I was one of 5 cars broken into there this past week, and was told it’s common there Myself along with other walkers came back to their cars with their windows busted in!

Nice private clean

Great bike ride
