Cheraw
State Park
(Chesterfield
County)
Trail Map
Description:
Cheraw is South Carolinas oldest, and one of its largest, state parks.
Cheraw features three equestrian trails, the Blue Trail, the White
Trail, and the Sandhills Connector Trail. The Blue and White Trails
are basically out and back, but you can ride out on one and return on
the other. The Sandhills Connector connects to the Pine Barons Horse
Trail where you can extend your ride to Sugarloaf Mountain or the H.
Cooper Black Field Trial area. All three trails are occasionally
unpaved roads, but you will ride through a variety of habitats amid
shaded pine and oak forests. The trails occasionally run concurrent,
so watch closely for the white, blue, or yellow and red blaze that
marks the trail you are riding. You will see a wide variety of
wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys, and you may also see a
resident of this area, a speedy lizard called the sixlined
racerunner.
Check with the park about horse requirements. No facilities are provided along the trails.
Restrooms, water, and vending machines are available in the main park
area. Camping is allowed near the trailhead.
Length:
The White Trail, 6.5 miles, the Blue Trail 7.3 miles, and the
Sandhills Trail 6.4 miles.
