From the trail head at Campground 1, or from Lee Chappell Road entrance, begin this easy and well-marked nature trail. Hike or bike your way along the Scenic Shoreline Trail for beautiful views of Lake Greenwood or follow the Forest Trail for a tour of the woodlands. The East and West Loop Trails are simply shorter versions of the main trail. Watch for a variety of wildlife along the trail to include blue heron, turtles, song birds and eagles and notice the diversity of plant life as you meander through the forest. A popular attraction from March to early April is the blooming wisteria. Fishermen will delight in the many scenic fishing spots along the shoreline. Pick your trail and your pace, and enjoy.
