Trail Description

Rolling farmlands, mature forests, and the historic town of Glenn Springs highlight the Glenn Springs Passage. In the 19th century, Glenn Springs was known for the health benefits of its mineral waters. Now listed in the National Register, the historic district includes 20 historic buildings dating from about 1840 to 1940 and the site of a once-popular resort hotel. For most of this passage, local residents allow the Palmetto Trail to cross their farms and forests. Please respect their private property and stay on the Trail. Bikes are only allowed on a portion of the passage; please use the bike connector road to by-pass the portion of trail which does not accommodate bikes.
