Palmetto Conservation Foundation took their first step in connecting the Palmetto Trail from the Wateree River to Fort Jackson with the construction of a 2 ½ mile section of trail through SCE&G property along Highway 601. The trail runs through hardwood forest and planted pines, crosses the main entrance of SCE&G’s Wateree Station, has two foot bridges, and a large paved parking area at the northern end. RCCC provided a $19,000 grant in FY13 to build the trail.
