GEOCACHING on the Swamp Rabbit
What is geocaching? Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
Geocaches can be found all over the world. It is common for geocachers to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. These locations can be quite diverse. They may be at your local park, at the end of a long hike, underwater or on the side of a city street.
There are over 1.4 million geocaches in the world today. As of September, 2011, over 60 active Geocaches are located within approximately two-tenths of a mile from the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail, and more are being hidden every day. So here’s another opportunity to enjoy this great upstate recreational resource.

GPATS Transportation Survey:
Greenville-Pickens Area Transportation Study (GPATS) has begun a five-year update of the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan, which was completed in 2007. We have developed a survey to get feedback from residents regarding their transportation priorities, including road projects, intersections, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and public transit.

Trail Status:
Open: Northern Campus of Greenville Hospital System to the city limits of Greenville. The distance from the Northern Campus of the Greenville Hospital System to Greenville Tech’s Pleasantburg Campus is 17.5 miles. Enjoy.
Mile Markers: Mile markers are installed at 1/2 mile intervals thanks to the hard work of volunteers from Johnson Controls. Jeremy Davis from Set Up Events Inc. will be on the trail certified the distances for running events. The first marker on the northern end starts with the number 23. Eventually mile 0 will be at the NC state line much like an interstate system.
All greenways are closed to any form of motor vehicles.
Events: A reminder, like with any facility or park at the Greenville County Recreation District if you are planning on having an event on the GHS Swamp Rabbit you need to fill out an event permit. It will help us get the trail in top shape for your event and avoid the chance to two events on the same part of the trail on the same day. While we will never close the trail to the general public, knowing about special events ahead of time will help us let everyone know the “where” and “when” of all the events on the trail.
