Located near Lexington SC, this trail is an out and back listed at 1.7 miles…we clocked 2.1. It’s an easy nature trail - I would not quite classify it as a true hike because it didn’t have much elevation gain. I highly recommend using your AllTrails app with this one to map it because it is marked but it has not been maintained well. The trail has a lot of downed trees on the wetland portion and a lot of random cuts with which referring to my app I was able to better navigate as we went.
This trail was just ok for me. It had some nice aspects. Most importantly, Ellie told me she loved it and, she and Elias played for over an hour at lunch building and exploring. There were lots of trees to climb and the pond was good to explore pond plant life and observe birds and fish! That is always exciting!
The parking for this trail is a dirt lot pull off on the side of the road. The trail is not highly trafficked and as mentioned before, could use some maintenance with fallen trees and clearing some of the marked parts of the trail as they are becoming a bit overgrown.
But as was the purpose, this trail provided fun, adventure, exploration, exercise, and quality time in nature as a family!
