The Spanish Moss Trail traces its roots back to the historic Magnolia Line Railroad, which began operations in 1870.
The Spanish Moss Trail traces its roots back to the historic Magnolia Line Railroad, which began operations in 1870. After the railroad ceased service in 2003, the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority acquired the corridor in 2008 for utility use. In 2011, they granted a surface easement to Beaufort County, paving the way for a 14-mile recreational trail.
Since opening in 2013, nearly 10 miles of the trail have been completed and are now enjoyed daily by walkers, runners, and cyclists. The trail serves as a scenic and active link between the City of Beaufort and the Town of Port Royal, offering both a historic journey and a vibrant community space.
