The Pitt Street Bridge Trail in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina is an easy universally accessible out-and-back trail that features views of Charleston and a boardwalk that spans a portion of the old Pitt Street Bridge.

This is not a hike but rather a short out-and-back walk through Pitt Street Bridge Park where visitors will find views of Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and the bay. The path follows a paved surface for most of the way until you reach the old Pitt Street Bridge that was in use from 1864 to 1927. Once at the old bridge, you'll find a boardwalk was constructed over a small section of the bridge's old foundational pillars - the boardwalk provides outlets for fishing and room for folks to take in the scenery. From the end of the boardwalk, you'll find views toward Sullivan's Island where the remnants of the old bridge still stand today.

Parking
Walkers will find parking for the Pitt Street Bridge along Pitt Street near the coordinates provided. The street has parallel parking in dirt turnouts along the west side of the street. Note that this park fills up quickly on nice days, so do not overcrowd or park in the non-parking zones along the residential streets to the north.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
