The West Ashley Greenway is a rail trail in Charleston, South Carolina.
It is a straight and mostly paved path utilized for walking, jogging, roller skating, and off-street cycling.
In 2019, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave the city of Charleston a $18 million grant to build a pedestrian bridge across the Ashley River connecting West Ashley to downtown Charleston.

[4] It was abandoned by Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1981 and over time, the City of Charleston entered into leasing agreements with utility companies that took over the right-of-way to allow for public access.
