Notice:
Howard Gap Rd. at the intersection of Windmill Rd. and N Howard Street has been closed and the street sign removed. The Peach Country Passage still uses this path so look for the Palmetto Trail Sign and proceed on the dirt path to get to the paved part of Howard Gap Rd. You will climb Windmill Hill that offers a fantastic view from the top.
Ideal for bicycling, the scenic Peach Country Passage is routed from Inman to Landrum along back roads dotted with peach orchards. Past the sidewalks of Inman and Chapman High School, cyclists and hikers climb Windmill Hill, the highest point of the passage.
The numerous peach orchards are spectacular when blooming in spring, and remind one of the history and importance of the peach packing industry in the area. Except for a quarter mile on the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway (SC Hwy 11) near Campobello, the Trail stays on lightly traveled rural roads. At the end of the final mile through Brookwood Park into Landrum, the Trail connects to the Blue Wall Passage. Turn left and head downtown for unique shops, quaint eateries, and charming B&B inns. Trailheads in Inman, Gramling, and Landrum offer parking and Trail information kiosks.
