西班牙苔蘚小徑或Beaufort鐵路小徑

The Spanish Moss Trail (sometimes called Beaufort Rail Trail or Magnolia Line Trail) follows the old Port Royal Railroad that was built in 1870. The planned 13.6-mile scenic route will cross Beaufort County between Port Royal and Yemassee. In November 2012, the first mile was completed, from Depot Road to Allison Road in Beaufort, the second oldest city in South Carolina. It crosses a beautiful swamp and several historic buildings, including the Beaufort Depot, built in 1901, which is located next to Hermitage Road at the northern end of the trail. A year later, 2 more miles of trail were added. The extension connects perfectly with the inaugural section on Allison Road and heads south through wooded neighborhoods to end at US 21 / Ribaut Road in Port Royal. Subsequent phases have extended the road north from Depot Road, through Burton, to Roseida Road. Construction continues, and the road has extended 4 miles from Roseida Road to Clarendon Road in the near future. Parking and access to trails Parking can be found along the east side of the trail at the Technical College of the Lowcountry (921 Ribaut Road).
