Park)
Trail Map
Description:
You will start this 5.4-mile level service road trail at the main
parking area, cross S-18-30, and wind along the eastern boundary of
Givhans Ferry State Park. Birds and other wildlife are plentiful; you
may even see an alligator in the lowland area. A small stand of
cypress is visible on the left about a mile or so along the first leg
of the trail. The woods are dense on both sides until the trail turns
sharply to the left and opens among sparse pine, where the only sounds are
distant birds and the wind in the trees. When you reach S-18-30, you
have two options. You can hike alongside S-18-30 to the park entrance, or
return the way you came. Remember to bring water and first-aide
supplies on this broken horseshoe-shaped trail, since there are no
shortcuts.
