Wildflower Way and the Rainbow Pet Bridge
A new way to experience the Edwin Griffin Preserve
SPACE and the City of Spartanburg manage Wildflower Way, a paved trail that runs parallel to the natural-surface path of the Cottonwood Trail. Wildflower Way provides a smooth, paved option which is welcoming to people using strollers, wheelchairs, mobility aids, and anyone who prefers an easier surface.
Side-by-side with Cottonwood: Choose between the rustic, natural-surfaced Cottonwood Trail or the paved Wildflower Way.
Edwin Griffin Nature Preserve: Wander through a stunning protected area filled with wildflowers, waterways, and wildlife.
Part of The Dan: Like all segments of The Daniel Morgan Trail System, Wildflower Way is ADA-accessible and connects into the larger trail network.
Spartanburg’s Rainbow Pet Bridge
This segment also features Spartanburg’s Rainbow Pet Bridge in partnership with Hub City Animal Project—a colorful and uplifting place of reflection where people can honor their beloved animal companions.
- Visitors are welcomed to clip a pet’s collar to the designated railing.
- Please avoid locks, ribbons, or other items that could harm the bridge or the environment.

A sign with the Rainbow Bridge Poem offers comfort and guidance to all who visit.
