Wildflower Way and the Rainbow Pet Bridge
Wildflower Way & Rainbow Pet Bridge
A new way to experience the Edwin Griffin Preserve.
Wildflower Way is a paved trail that runs parallel to the Cottonwood Trail, which is managed by SPACE and the City of Spartanburg. While Cottonwood offers a natural-surface path, Wildflower Way provides a smooth, paved option—making this treasured landscape more welcoming to people using strollers, wheelchairs, mobility aids, and anyone who prefers an easier surface.
