August 4, 2020Some spots are tough to keep track of but overall not difficult to navigate. about the 2 mile mark is a nice little stream and the lake lookout is well worth the hike!
May 3, 2020Straight forward trail. Pay attention to park directional signs. Good hardy trail.
March 8, 2020Great morning walk. Saw lots of deer and hawks, and even some turkeys. The trail is pretty defined, but it is a little hard to distinguish on the way back up from the lake.
February 14, 2020Very nice trail. Some of the wooden walk-ways are washed out but you can still get across them and keep from getting too wet. There were some trees down but easy enough to pass through. A little wet on the way back, but again, easy enough to get around the water. Loved the quiet and peaceful feel to the trail. Didn't hear any cars or outside noise. I was the only person on the trail while I was there today. Enjoyed the hike!
August 31, 2019We took this trail with our chihuahua. It was easy and we enjoyed walking through the pine trees. Didn’t see any wildlife but saw huge pine cones. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday morning after a long drive the day before. A good exercise. Recommend for all ages.
August 27, 2019Dog friendly, very nice views will go again very very soon
May 27, 2019This trail is okay if you want to get the miles in but doesn't offer much in the term of any views. At one point there is a little pond you can walk over to but then again its not big. Bring bug spray as there are a lot of deer flies that buzz around your head or keep trying to land on your face.
March 24, 2019A beautiful trail through SC pine forests but obviously not a maintenance focus for the park. Unless I missed something the blazes change colors from white to blue for about a mile, which caught me off guard for a bit. Still though, an excellent hike in well maintained forest. Didn’t see a soul out there which was nice. Update: A directional sign is missing. That’s how I ended up with the blue blazes which marks a property boundary.
May 14, 2018I was the only one around on a Monday in mid May. Bugs weren’t too bad. Looks like they’re making some additions/improvements to the trail, as I got turned around a few times. Nice and peaceful. Took about just under 2 hours to do 4.8 miles, but I was taking pictures and screwing around.
April 5, 2018Nice walk. Too bad for the burn off because it made for a dirty experience and we couldn’t hear and didn’t see any wildlife.
