On the Banks of the Reedy

The Reedy is a 65 mile long river that flows through the upstate region of South Carolina including the city of Greenville. Along the banks of the Reedy is the 19-mile long Swamp Rabbit Trail, built along the path of an old rail line. The trail connects several small city parks creating a linear park through Greenville along the river.
