Description:
Starting from the parking area, you will find this well marked, technical singletrack trail a challenge. Its twisting turns, short hills, and several technical creek crossings, take even the best cyclists around 40 minutes to complete. The large pine, oak, hickory, and poplar trees provide shade, so riding during the summer months, is not so uncomfortable. Lynch's Woods is also a host to a section of the Palmetto Trail, which passes through this area. You will cross roads in several places, so be aware there may be car traffic.Be aware you are sharing this trail with hikers. Restrooms are available at the parking area.

Length: 7.5 miles of trail and 4.2 miles of gravel road.

Fees: No fee.

Directions: From Exit 76 on I-26, near Newberry, drive toward Newberry on SC 219 to the intersection with US 76/SC 34. Turn left, and drive to the traffic light where SC 34 splits to the right. The entrance to Lynches Woods is at a large sign on the left.
