(Hickory Knob State Park)

TrailMap

 
Description: At the post and rail fence, begin this gently-rolling, hiking/biking, out-and-back trail that winds along the scenic lake shore. You will zig-zag and switch-back on a single-track dirt path that traverses ditches and streams. Biking challenges include roots, rocks, close trees, occasional sinkholes and other minor trail hazards. As you pass beneath the shade of pine and oak woods, watch of a variety of birds, snakes and other wildlife. The trail ends near the skeet shooting area where you can return the way you came.

Bikers are asked to protect the trails by not riding after recent rain when conditions are wet. Hikers should be aware that footbridges and stone crossings may be slippery when wet. Remember to wear insect repellent in warm weather. Pets are permitted on leashes. Restrooms are available at the visitor’s center and clubhouse.

Length: 2.5 miles.

Directions: From McCormick drive 5.5 miles west on US 378 and turn right onto McCormick County S-33­7. Drive 1.6 miles and turn left at Hickory Knob State Park. Continue to the parking area near the visitor’s center. The trailhead is across the road.
