Question: I heard this week that Furman University is not letting the county pave the Swamp Rabbit Trail section through its campus. Is this true? That s a very bumpy stretch and really needs to be fixed. On top of not letting the public access the campus to walk around the beautiful lake, they re not being very friendly to us local residents or our many visitors.
Answer: I’m glad you asked, because the rumors are not true, and it’s always nice to be able to clear up a misunderstanding.
I spoke with Ty Houck, director of greenways, natural and historic resources for Greenville County Recreation District, about this.
