Running through neighborhoods of the West Ashley area is a 4-kilometer long paved bicycle trail known as the West Ashley Bikeway. While some of the older parts of the bikeway are in poor condition, the portion that is to the east of Saint Andrews Blvd. is very nice. After leaving the residential area, the trail runs as straight as an arrow through the woods. Heading eastward, you can begin to see glimpses of marshland and the river through the trees along the sides of the trail, until at last you emerge at a spot with a spectacular view of the Ashley.

Note: The West Ashley Bikeway is not the same as the West Ashley Greenway. The two trails are nearby, but they do not connect.
