Loading Trails

Several connecting trails of varied lengths are available throughout the park. The Stagecoach/Nature Trail forms a loop from the Community Center and as you walk you will see signs which identify tree species in the area. Five educational stations also provide information about soils, forestry, air, wildlife, and water. The Stagecoach section is part of an old road used by coaches traveling from Charleston, SC to Winston-­Salem, NC in the 17 and 1800s.

The Splash Pad Connector Trail connect the park road to the Splash Pad area through a wooded area of oaks and pines where you may see white­-tailed deer. You can form a loop from the Splash Pad by walking on one and using County Park Road to return on the other.

The Riverwalk is a handicap accessible boardwalk starting from the Community Center which follows the banks of the Lynches River. About midway there is an overlook to stop and just enjoy the river.

There are also cabins available to reserve near the Splash Pad for a reasonable rate. Each cabin sleeps 4 to 6 people and includes central air/heat, refrigerator, toaster, microwave, stove, cutlery and some dishes. A grill and picnic table are located outside each cabin overlooking Lynches River. Cabin 2 is handicap-accessible. Make your reservation ahead of time.
