Red River is an unincorporated community in York County, South Carolina. Situated along the Catawba River, the city of Rock Hill surrounds it. The earliest known mention of Red River was on the "Road Map for South Carolina," published by Shell Oil in 1956. Despite its size, the community enjoys a close-knit atmosphere and benefits from the nearby hospitality of Rock Hill.
Take in the sights on The Piedmont Medical Center Trail, a 2.5-mile-long, paved, ten-foot-wide trail that winds alongside the Catawba River, suitable for walking, running, and biking. With connections, there are 3.35 miles of beautiful scenery. It features flat areas, stretches with steep grades, and is equipped with benches, pet stations, and bridges. Additionally, the trail connects to the Waterford Golf Course Trail and is part of the City of Rock Hill's Trail and Greenway System.
