Multi-Use Trail
Figure Eight at Holly Springs
(Pickens County)

TrailMap

Description: Starting from the Holly Springs Recreation Area, this strenuous double loop trail spends more time on roads than the others in this area, but it does have a technical singletrack section with a steep eroded climb and descent.  A mile long descent helps to bring up the average speed for this ride. Unfortunately you will have to ride a short section of paved road to make a connection between two sections. A descent on some stone steps near the end, add a bit of character to this trail.

You can increase the length of your ride by riding the Issaqueena Lake, or the Dalton Road rides in the same area.

Insect repellent is recommended during warmer months. Be aware that this multi-use trail is shared by hikers, bikers, and horses.

Length:  5.2 miles.

Fees: None.

Directions: From the junction of US 123 and SC 133 in Clemson, drive north on SC 133 for 3.4 miles and turn left. Continue on SC 133 and turn left onto Old Six Mile Hwy. There are several parking areas on the right after you turn into Issaqueena Forest on Issaqueena Lake Road.

Hours: Dawn till dusk

Camping: No camping.
