Great hike! Definitely need hiking boots as there was a ton of rocks, roots, etc. But, that’s why we are outside, right? There wasn’t much traffic on the trail. Felt safe as a solo female hiker, but of course i was prepared! The last .5 of the Mountainside Trail will get ya...uphill. Get your head around it. Great workout! Will be back.

Loved this trail. Good workout and quiet in the early morning. Be careful of loose rocks on the trail. Wear appropriate footwear. Lots of fire ants so don't plan to stop for a trail snack.
Great trail with both a 3 and 5 mike loop. Lots of canopy to protect you from the sun / heat of the day.
I saw several cool deer hanging out.

Definitely a moderate hike. Nice day. We hiked it on a Monday morning and saw only one group of hikers.
I like this set of trails it feels like one trail when you do all three. It's a good 5 miles with some good incline and I always add the Indian Seats Trail for another 3.2 miles making it a little over 8 miles. If your really trying to put in miles you can hike both loops twice and maybe on the second go around you can do it the other way for a different look. That would be almost 16.5 miles in that case.
Well marked trail through woods. Restrooms at trailhead.
