- Fort Jackson Recreation Trail
-
The Fort Jackson Recreation Trail is a multi-use 5-mile loop for walking, running and biking. The trail merges with the Fort Jackson passage of the Palmetto Trail which runs along the paved path that follows Semmes Rd.
The recreation trail begins & ends near the corner of Marion Ave. & Semmes Rd. Plenty of parking is available along with a park, picnic tables and a gazebo with benches for resting your legs or just relaxing and viewing the wildlife along the shoreline of Semmes Lake.
The trail follows along the Semmes Lake dam, crossing Lee Rd., passing Victory Hall. It continues along the paved path parallel to Semmes Rd. with a view overlooking the Fort Jackson Golf Club. The trail then makes a left turn following Chestnut Rd. past housing and the Youth Center. [Also, an additional branch continues straight following Semmes Rd. and ending at Twin Lakes] The trail continues past the Youth Center and again turns left and follows Hampton Pkwy. past Tank Hill and the Soldier Support Institute [SSI]. It then turns left and follows Stuart Ave. to the Community Activities Center where the trail winds its way through a small park complete with shelters and picnic tables. The trail then crosses Strom Thurmond Blvd at Scales Ave. and continues past the Scales Ave. & Hood St. Child Development Centers finally crossing Hill St. and again winding its way through the park located along the Semmes Lake shoreline to the trail head. - Don't Forget Safety!
-
Remember helmets are required for all bicyclists and skate boarders anywhere on Ft. Jackson. Walkers and runners have the trail "right of way" but please be polite, slower traffic should move to the far right of the trail and walking or running shoulder to shoulder should be minimized during heavy traffic times. Bicyclists should announce there approach and avoid surprising walkers and runners when passing from behind. Always be aware of automobile traffic and use caution especially when crossing streets.

The Palmetto Trail provides over 400 miles of biking and walking paths through towns & cities, along lakes, through forests and mountains featuring the natural beauty of South Carolina. The Palmetto Trail is halfway complete with nearly 225 miles open to the public.
A project of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, the Palmetto Trail was conceived in 1994. South Carolina’s Palmetto Trail is the state’s largest bicycle and pedestrian project and will eventually run from the mountains to the sea. - Eligibility and Swipe Cards
