Unlike most rail trails this one has a decent ammount of single track associated with its right of way. Sadly it was designed more for trail runners then mountain bikers so there is a lot of sand, sharp turns and mud. The city dose an ok job keeping the trails blown off but they need major work to be more bike friendly. A good place to stop is Phils Bicycle world right on rt 76 in Florence there is a paved/boardwalk access trail right from the shop and the guys in there can give you some good advice. The local club Atomic Mountain Bikers has a group ride most Thursdays at 630 from the shop and is working with the city to improve the trails and add a new ones. For now this is what we have to ride in Florence.
Unlike most rail trails Florence added a good amount of single track along side and around the paved section. Unfortunately many of the sections are not fully connected and you have to ride though a few parking lots to connect trails. Also they a built in a swamp and some take a very long time to dry out. Lots of roots make for a nice challange. Not worth coming into town for but if your here its worth checking out. Stop by Phils Bike World on Palmetto Street and they can give you some directions on what to ride.
