Foothills Trail Interactive Map
The Foothills Trail stretches from its western terminus in Oconee State Park (Oconee County, SC) and extends north for 77 miles to Table Rock State Park (Pickens County, SC).
In the fall of 2020, hiking enthusiast, Andrew Gleason, thru-hiked the entire Foothills Trail for the purpose of obtaining GPS locations along the way. He spent months compiling the data and created a user-friendly google map to help other hikers plan the best route for their journey.
The fact that it’s “interactive” means users can select the features they want to see at various points along the trail including:
- Trail access points
- Water sources
- Waypoints
- Cell service areas
- Color coded campsites
- DARK GREEN are designated campsites
- LIGHT GREEN are good campsites close to water
- ORANGE are dry campsites, no water nearby
- BLACK are located in a no camping zones
The Foothills Trail Interactive Map is a great tool for trip planning
Bonus: It’s free! Thank you, Andrew Gleason!
