SC Trails

The best months to paddle this stream are October through May when the water level and flow is at its highest, but even so, be aware that there are several sections of the creek where you will have to portage due to blockage, or depending on your skill, rough water.

The Learning Trail at Harbison State Forest is an easy loop hike that starts at the Education Center and winds past some outdoor classrooms and a small vernal pond.

The 75-foot high falls has no official trail, but hikers have been making the difficult 1.5 mile trip here for hundreds of years.

Lee State Park sits along the winding and scenic Lynches River. The park’s twelve miles of trails provide horseback riders with the chance to view the wonders of the sandy coastal plains of South Carolina as well as the wetlands along the beautiful Lynches River.

Levi's is a short run that connects the picnic shelter to the overlook shelter.

The Lick Fork Lake Hiking Trail is an easy 1.9-mile loop surrounding the lake that provides scenic views of piedmont pines and hardwoods.

The 25-foot stack of Pigpen Falls and the two-tiered, 80-foot Licklog Falls are much prettier than their names imply. This hike is ideal for a family outing.

Lightsey Park offers a lighted and paved walking path, as well as playground equipment and picnic areas.

South Carolina natives and out-of-towners alike can find something fun to do in Santee State Park. Tucked away within the park, this is an easy, one-mile loop trail.

The trail is a natural surface path that follows the perimeter of the Limestone College Athletics Department, around the quarry, and up to the college's baseball fields.
