Doodle Trail

The Doodle Trail offers a difficult jogging experience across 15.2 miles (24.4 km), with a total elevation gain of 715 feet (218 metres) and an estimated duration of 2 hours and 33 minutes. As you jog, you will pass through peaceful wooded corridors and open farmlands where cattle graze. Look out for two charming wooden bridges and distant views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The route is mostly flat, but gentle inclines will give you a good workout.

You can access the Doodle Trail from trailheads in both Easley and Pickens. Both locations provide convenient amenities including parking, restrooms, and water fountains. Easley's Doodle Park and Pickens' Railroad Park offer additional facilities like playgrounds and picnic areas for a longer visit. Rotary Park, located at the halfway point, also has benches and a bike repair station if you need a break.

This unique jogging route is a paved rails-to-trails path, connecting the towns of Easley and Pickens. It transforms a former railway into an accessible corridor for outdoor activity. The varied scenery and well-maintained surface make it a notable option for a longer, challenging jog in the region.
