Summary:
This 19-mile loop trail traverses a wide array of habitat types, from mature longleaf pine stands to bottomland hardwood drains, and offers captivating scenery to visitors. Horseback riders and mountain bikers may glimpse prothonotary warblers darting among the trees.
This trail winds through a mostly longleaf pine forest in the Francis Marion National Forest. You will find regrowth in some areas, evidence of Hurricane Hugo (1989). The forest is also filled with dogwood, black-eyed susans, live oak, deer, wild turkey, and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Because this area is near the coast, parts of the trail are prone to flooding.
Since these trails are shared, you may encounter hikers or mountain bikers. Insect repellent is recommended during warm months.
There is primitive camping available, however, a permit is required from the District office.
Directions:From Exit 208 on I-26, drive on SC Hwy. 52 to Moncks Corner. From Moncks Corner, drive east on SC 402 to SC 41. Turn left and drive 7 miles to the trailhead on the left.
