The newest trail addition to the Poinsett State Park trail system—the Swamp Fox—is stacked onto the Whippoorwill Trail. Much of 2.8-mile trail skirts the edges of Campbell Creek's swampy valleys with some open firebreak sections that are faster. The Spanish moss-colored tree blazed trail is open and ready to ride.
