Route and access notes

A natural-surface section of South Carolina's Palmetto Trail through the Wateree river landscape, Poinsett State Park and Manchester State Forest. This page covers the Wateree Passage with an MTB assessment, not the entire cross-state trail.

Planning this route

The connected mapped line is 18.6 km, close to the operator's 11.4-mile passage. Its endpoints are near the published Poinsett and northern access coordinates. Bridges and low-lying ground feature along the corridor. About 10.4 km lacks mapped surface detail; use the operator map for navigation and access.

Access and source limitations

Mountain biking in Manchester State Forest requires a permit. The operator identifies hunting grounds, possible timed hunting closures, no motorized vehicles or equestrians on this passage, and leashed dogs. Verify the current hunting calendar and flood or bridge notices. About 7.5 km has unspecified or complex source access tags.
