It’s been incredible to see the Saluda Shoals Riverwalk take shape, from the groundbreaking to the Phase 1 ribbon cutting, creating a new 2.5-mile paved trail and boardwalk connecting the Lake Murray Dam and Saluda Shoals Park.

Phase 1 is just the beginning of a larger vision to connect communities and trails throughout the region, creating an even greater outdoor connection from Lake Murray toward downtown Columbia and beyond.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the many community partners. Thank you for being part of this journey and helping create a valuable resource for our community to enjoy for generations to come.

A special thank you to Alex Salmon of Salmon Photo & Video for creating this amazing video to help us share the story of the Saluda Shoals Riverwalk.
