TrailMap


Description: You will start this fairly easy walking loop trail from the sand parking area near the boat house and circle the lake. A number of boardwalks cross the wet areas, which are home for a variety of birds. From the bridge over Jackson Creek you will see a waterfall and a connection to the Jackson Creek Nature Trail. In the spring and early summer months you will be treated to the beauty of wild flowers and the cinnamon scent of sweet pepperbush (June is best).

Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.

Length: 1.9 miles.

Directions: From downtown Columbia, drive northwest on I-126 to the junction of I-20. Drive east on I-20 and turn off at Exit 74 (Two Notch Road), then turn left at the light onto Two Notch Rd (US 1). Drive approximately 3 miles and you will see a sign on the right for the park. Enter the park and drive to the bottom of the hill (approximately 1.0 mile) and turn left and park in the Retreat Center parking area.
