Swamp Rabbit Trail Expansion

Update - Febraury 9, 2026

We celebrated a ceremonial groundbreaking for the next stretch of the Swamp Rabbit Trail. This planned 2-mile paved shared-use path will extend the southern Golden Strip section, representing an important step toward transforming a standalone segment into a connected network designed for everyday use—not just recreation.

Once complete, the trail will help link neighborhoods, schools, and parks, including Mulberry Estates, Fountain Inn High School, and Bryson Elementary School, supporting safer walking, biking, and access throughout the community.

Proposed Completion · Spring 2026

Bids went out the beginning of November from UGATA, seeking proposals for clearing, grading and construction of an approximately 1.85 mile paved, shared-use path to extend the existing Fountain Inn section of the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

This new addition will directly connect Simpsonville and Fountain Inn residents to Fountain Inn High School, Bryson Elementary, and the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park, marking exciting progress toward a healthier, more connected community.
