Next, rent a bike or walk along the 22-mile multi-use trail that was rated number 1 on "America’s Best Urban Bike Paths" by Fodor’s Travel. The path meanders along the Reedy River, an old railroad corridor, and city parks to connect Travelers Rest with the City of Greenville. The Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail attracts over 750,000 local and visiting riders each year.
Bike rentals and bike tours are available 7 days a week and can be booked in advance through the trail's website.

Take a break for lunch along the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Main Street. The restaurant was once a functioning whistle stop, a place the conductor would stop when signaled, and has been a family-owned cafe since 1945. Inside, you can see vintage furniture and old brick walls, while dining on a menu inspired by railway language (such as "all aboard, railroad junction, stoke your engine," etc.)
Closed on Sunday

Shop for vintage and up-cycled decor and clothing at this vibrant shop run by two sisters. Spend some time digging through the shelves to find rare collectibles from the 1940-1990s. Open Thursday-Friday from 11am-5pm.
