Description: Starting from the Retreat Center parking area you will enjoy an easy walk jog, or ride on this tree lined path that circles the park. Since you are away from park activities you may see or hear a variety of birds. In the spring and early summer months you will be treated to the beauty of wild flowers and the cinnamon scent of sweet pepperbush (June is best).

Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.

Length: 3.5 miles.

Directions: From downtown Columbia, drive northwest on I-126 to the junction of I-20. Drive east on I-20 and turn off at Exit 74 (Two Notch Road), then turn left at the light onto Two Notch Rd (US 1). Drive approximately 3 miles and you will see a sign on the right for the park. Enter the park and drive to the bottom of the hill (approximately 1.0 mile) and turn left and park in the Retreat Center parking area.
