(Andrew Jackson State Park)


TrailMap


Description:
From the left of the fishing dock, begin this easy-to-follow, occasionally steep, loop trail that provides fishing access and scenic views of an 18-acre lake. You will cross a grassy causeway over the dam, and wind along a rooted, dirt path through a mixed pine and hardwood forest. Watch your step on the slopes and wet areas, especially after a recent rain. You may see waterfowl, squirrels, snakes and other wildlife. Remember to wear insect repellent in warm weather. Pets must be kept on leashes. Restrooms, water, and picnic shelters are available near the museum and camping areas.

Length: 1.0-mile loop.

Directions: From Lancaster, drive north on US 521 for approximately 8.0 miles. Andrew Jackson State Park is on the right. Enter the park, turn left at the fork, and then turn left onto the gravel road. Park at the lake parking area. The trail is near the fishing dock.
