Hiking
Trail
 strenuous, well-marked 1.5-mile loop will provide you with
a 45-minute get away in the land that Cherokee Indians once traversed.
The most distinguishing feature of this trail, the natural bridge,
provides a natural fixture for you to cross Poe Creek, which you will
follow for a good portion of your hike. You will enjoy the melodic
sound of a tributary of the park’s major attraction Lake Keowee
while surrounded by mountain laurel, blueberries, and Bowman’s root.
Wildlife you may encounter will consist of the occasional white tail
deer, chipmunks, or non-poisonous snakes. This trail offers you a
pleasant place to connect with the gorgeous foothills of the Blue
Ridge Mountains.
Length: 1.5-mile loop Directions: From Clemson, drive north for 20 miles on SC 133 until you reach SC 11.

From Walhalla, drive 20 miles northwest on SC 11, and the entrances are just beyond the bridge that crosses Lake Keowee. Camping: Please check with the park for campsite availability.
