If you are staying in Savannah, and the weather is nice, you must ride on the McQueen's Island Trail!

This 6-mile long (one way) biking, hiking and running trail gives you beautiful views of the low country! Also referred to as the Old Savannah - Tybee Island Rail Trail, because it connects Savannah to Tybee Island! Once an old railroad track, the Rails To Trails Conservancy has worked to transform the flat path into a multi-use trail!

If you are located in Savannah, you can pick up the trail by turning off of I-80 where you see the Fort Pulaski National Monument signs. Parking is available but make sure to come early on the weekends! As you ride along the trail, it is seashell packed and very flat. Palm trees line the road and you parallel a causeway, so there is a little bit of noise. But this trail gives you stunning views of the marshes surrounding Savannah and Tybee Island.

This is a perfect option to get everyone moving if you have bigger kids or little kids who can go in a bike seat. Once you are done biking or walking, plan a visit to Tybee Island on the western end if you want to include a beach stop!

Mary Webb joined the Happyly team as the Head of Ambassador Community and Content Growth in January 2022! As a native of coastal Virginia, going to college in mountains of Tennessee and spending multiple summers in Wyoming working on a ranch, she loves being out in nature. She was immediately drawn to Happyly because of the importance of experiencing time outdoors for both mental wellness and the opportunity to learn about the connection between humans and nature. As the head of the Ambassador Community and Content Growth, she will act as a point of contact for all interested Ambassadors and work to expand both the 100+ Ambassador team and the content they create to stretch across the US and beyond.
