A very popular choice in Columbia, this trail is located three miles from downtown in the 1,419-acre Sesquicentennial State Park. Staring from the parking area, you will be riding on a sandy roadbed. Once you reach the loop section, you will see blue signs informing you of the direction of travel. The single track loop winds and rolls through a pine forest with a fast and sandy bottom. The sandy bottom of this trail provides good drainage and this trail can usually be ridden shortly after a hard rain, when other trails in the area are closed. The park also offers a jogging loop, camping, nature trail, and lake fishing.

Camping: Call 1-866-345-PARK (7275) or go online at www.SouthCarolinaParks.com to make your reservations today!

Important Notice! Dog must be present for photo identification to obtain dog park permit.

Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.
