One of the Columbia area’s most popular walking/jogging pathways is directly across the top of the Dreher Shoals Dam along S.C. Highway 6 at Lake Murray. The distance is 1.7 miles each way for a total walk of 3.4 miles.
The pathway offers spectacular views of Lake Murray and even the downtown Columbia skyline 11 miles away. This pathway was completed after the construction of the new backup dam at Dreher Shoals Dam on Lake Murray (in 2005) and with the widening of S.C. Highway 6 across the top of the dam (in 2007). Parking is available at either side of the Dreher Shoals Dam. A small free parking lot is on the Lexington (South) side of the dam.
