We have plenty of ‘green space’ here in the Upstate, and now you can ‘own’ a section of the Swamp Rabbit trail for yourself or a loved one.
You can help build and maintain the growing Greenville County Greenways network by purchasing a 25′ section of the GHS Swamp Rabbit trail for $25.00.
For your tax-deductible support, you will receive a certificate of ownership listing the exact GPS coordinates of your section(s). The Greater Greenville Parks Foundation site assures us that 90% of the monies received will be used to directly mobilize public support and financial resources for public parks, trails, and recreational opportunities in our community.
The Swamp Rabbit Trail is constantly being updated, but you can visit the Greenville Rec site to get the latest map of the trail. Just yesterday, the Greenville News listed several updates coming to the trail soon:
