Beautiful trails!
Matty B.

I love the Wannamaker North Trail...when it's open. It is downright awesome and one may say essential to have this beauty of a trail within the greater Charleston area. The trail itself is an 8 mile loop with undulating ups and downs, a ridge portion, and beautiful scenery as it winds its way through towering oak trees. The trail is very well maintained and clearly a labor of love brought into this world by its founders. As such, the trail is pretty tightly regulated and thus shut down fairly regularly whenever it rains. This can be frustrating when one plans on getting in some trail miles (which is difficult to do in the Lowcountry!) only to find that the trail has been benched for the day. However, this is a necessary evil in order to keep the trail in tip top shape for all to enjoy! Also, it seems as though the website is religiously updated to let the public know if and when the trail is closed (thank you for that!). I cannot speak to the mountain biking here as I have yet to lug my bike up to Goose Creek, but I can say that the trail running afforded by the Wannamaker North is pretty solid. Clearly, 8 miles is a very respectable loop and great when hoping to avoid the tedium of point to point runs. Furthermore, there are plenty of exit points along the trail should you prefer to complete a run (or bike ride) totaling a distance that is not a clean multiple of 8. The ridge portion is probably the most challenging part of the trail, but overall the trail offers a largely flat (though with gentle ups and downs) terrain. It is great to see the county holding more and more events here to showcase how great of a trail it is! Don't forget--there is a $1 admission fee (which is a steal!) that's done on the honor system (ie, drop your dollar in a box by the gate) unless you have a Gold Pass (which gets you in for free!). Even if you have to cough up $1, this trail is worth it!

My husband and I had no idea what we were getting into but we had so much fun! Our plan was to go on a nice bike ride and enjoy the weather. We wanted to try a new place and chose Wannamaker North Trail. Wow were we surprised at the narrow path, roots, small very manageable hills and curves, trees in your face all of a sudden. It was amazing! We had so much fun we've already planned to find a similar trail for next weekend!

The entire trail is close to 7 miles if you run the whole thing, so it's quite the workout.

A very well thought out park design! Very large playground area with a variety of playground…read moreequipment, including swings, tire, swing, sand area, slides, monkey bars, etc. I can imagine it would be hard to keep up with your child(ren) if there are multiple other children running around, but they would have a blast. They have a little scavenger hunt for shapes throughout the playground on as well.

Gahagan Park has quickly become one of my favorite places to walk. Since the beginning of the…read moreCoronavirus, I've been staying with my boyfriend in Lincolnville. I have been trying to go on a walk every day. Most days, I just walk around his neighborhood. However, I was excited when I heard the parks reopened. I made a venture to Gahagan Park the first time almost on accident. I needed somewhere to go to get signal, as I don't get good phone service in Lincolnville. So I went to Gahagan Park for the phone signal, but after my virtual appointment, I decided to walk around this park. I found a track wrapping around a football field. I headed towards this because I assumed this would be the best place for walking. I passed a few baseball fields on my way. When I got to the track and started to walk around, I noticed that part of the track veers off. I followed this path to see where it lead. It went by some more baseball fields. It also lead to some public bathrooms and a picnic area. At the end of this walking trail, there is a graveyard. It is fenced in, and I couldn't get in. This is the point where I turn around, as the park ends and the walking path turns into a road. I like coming to Gahagan Park for my daily walks. I have a friend who plays ultimate frisbee here! This is a cool, fun, and relatively safe place to hang out. I definitely recommend checking it out!
