- **Event Description**: What’s Next for the Trail? Join Us at the April 23 Public Forum
Momentum is building for the Saluda Grade Trail—and we’re excited to share what’s next.

Communities across North Carolina and South Carolina are coming together around a shared vision: transforming the historic rail line between Inman and Saluda into a connected, community-centered trail experience. Following the successful purchase of the corridor last June, the project has officially moved into the planning phase.

Over the past year, hundreds of community members, partners, and stakeholders have helped shape this vision through surveys, roundtables, interviews, and public conversations. Now, we’re ready to share what we’ve learned—and where we’re headed next.
