The Mill Villages Riverlink portion of the Three Rivers Greenway is truly a regional partnership.  The Greenway is possible only because of the willingness of both sides of the river to work together.  The Mill Villages Riverlink is an exciting safe recreational opportunity that not only draws attention to this areas scenic rivers and beautiful communities, additionally its potential to connect USC students and staff, as well as city and county residents to the river is a testament to the Riverbanks Region's ongoing efforts to explore and appreciate the value of our natural resources.

The Mill Villages Riverlink stretches through the University of South Carolina's campus, into the city of Columbia, across a Richland County Recreation Commission park, back into the City and across property graciously donated.  It opens up new areas along the Congaree River and connects seamlessly into the portion of the Greenway already installed and widely used at Granby Park.  You could stand on this section of the Greenway and literally wave at your friends in Cayce and West Columbia. 

The park is dog friendly offers boardwalks, overlooks, and one and a half miles of lighted central paths which accommodates all levels of physical access including baby carriages and wheelchairs. 

The Mill Villages Riverlink adds an additional 1.5 miles to the Greenway system.  The Mill Villages Riverlink marks the completion of a total of 7.5 miles of Three Rivers Greenway throughout Cayce, Columbia, West Columbia and along the rivers in Richland and Lexington Counties, bringing the River Alliance within five miles of their goal of a 12.5 linear system along the Midland's three rivers.
