Review & FAQ:

Pickett Bridge Recreation Area and Pitt Street Bridge is a popular pedestrian greenway located in Mount Pleasant, accessible from downtown Charleston via the Ravenel Bridge. The Old Village recreation area provides visitors with incredible views of Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter, and the Intracoastal Waterway, located at the site of a former trolley bridge that was constructed in 1929 and dismantled in 1945 following the construction of the Ben Sawyer Swing Bridge. It is a popular spot for area joggers and cyclists, with a public boardwalk available for use by fishers looking to catch spot tail bass and blue crabs. Kayak launch sites to Sullivan's Island and Shem Creek are also offered, with a kayak trail map provided on site.
