Walhalla receives Grants from State Recreational Trails Program

The Greater Walhalla Area Chamber of Commerce announces that the Palmetto Conservation Foundation was awarded two grants through the state’s Recreational Trails Program. The new section of Palmetto Trail is part of a 16-mile extension from Oconee Station State Historic Site into downtown Walhalla, the Trail’s western terminus. The 1.5-mile section will accommodate mountain biking and hiking, and will anchor an extensive mountain biking trail system planned for Walhalla city property on Stumphouse Mountain. The popular Stumphouse Tunnel and Issaqueena Falls are adjacent to the site.
