Mary Black Foundation
Rail Trail
A Segment of The Dan
The Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail is a 1.9 mile rail-to-trail conversion of a former Norfolk Southern railroad corridor. It is a showpiece of the Daniel Morgan Trail System and also a point of connection with the Palmetto Trail.
This paved urban trail has come to be known as the MBF Rail Trail, or simply “The Rail Trail” to local residents. It parallels two major roads and connects many neighborhoods to downtown Spartanburg.
The Rail Trail is adjacent to many restaurants, retail businesses, and recreational facilities. Conveniently located between South Pine Street and Union Street, it has access points at 295 East Henry Street and at 105 Country Club Road. The Rail Trail is wheel-chair accessible. Additional parking is available along Glendale Road and behind Flock Shop at 970 S. Pine Street.
