Trail Description

Capital City Passage, the first urban Passage on the Palmetto Trail, features South Carolina’s largest city and seat of state government. The Passage follows city sidewalks through beautiful neighborhoods, past city parks and schools, along the historic Horseshoe at the University of South Carolina, and across the steps of the State Capitol. Wander a few blocks off the Trail and enjoy shopping, restaurants, and many points of interest that help make “famously hot” Columbia a great city. The Passage links Fort Jackson Passage to Riverfront Park and the Broad River. 

Additional Information

Stop in and meet the staff at the Palmetto Trail Head Quarter Office, 722 King Street, about three blocks north of Wheat Street.
