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.
