Croft Passage
Trail Description
Croft Passage is a roller coaster for hikers, cyclists, and equestrians (watch signs for designated areas) through historic Croft State Park. The park was formerly known as Camp Croft, a World War II Army training center. Near the southern trailhead, the 65-foot “Advance America” Bridge—the longest trail bridge in a state park—crosses Fairforest Creek. In the 1700s, the nearby shoals supported a hub of mills, trading, and political activity, including the area’s first governmental organization, the Spartan Militia District. Spartanburg County has a disproportionately high number of Revolutionary War sites. One of these is located at the northern trailhead, the site of a Revolutionary militia victory at the First Battle of Cedar Springs in 1780. A ¾-mile hike on a blue-blazed trail spur leads to Whitestone Springs, site of a 1902 resort hotel.
