Trail construction to start next month

A local promoter of the project to extend South Carolina’s Palmetto Trail to Walhalla says a contract for the work has been awarded.  And Dan Pollock says you can expect work to start next month in the vicinity of Walhalla’s Stumphouse Tunnel Park.  A project of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, the trail crosses the state from Walhalla and the mountains of Oconee to Awendaw on the coast in Charleston County. Another 150 miles of  the Midlands and the Upstate remain to be acquired and constructed.
