SC Trails

The Woodruff Greenway is a 1.8-mile – out-and-back – walking trail that starts at the Woodruff Leisure Center and travels all the way to Woodruff Middle School.

While there are hiking trails and a boardwalk present, the best way to explore Woods Bay is by canoe.

Woods Ferry Recreation Area, in western Chester County, lies within a beautiful wooded floodplain surrounded by upland pine woods and maturing hardwood forests.

The Wormy Chestnut Trail passes over some stonework done by the Civilian Conservation Corps and is an easy and scenic hike.

Worth Management Area is preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. There is a trail that leads to the top of Worth Mountain, as well as accessibilty to the Broad Scenic River.

Santee National Wildlife Refuge consists of four separate units scattered along the eastern shore of Lake Marion. Hiking along the Wrights Bluff Nature Trail (Bluff Unit) gives you some great views of Cantey Bay, the wildlife farm fields, and numerous wetlands.

This 0.45-mile paved trail is mostly flat and is excellent for bikers, walkers and runners.

Along the way on the Sculptured Oak Nature Trail, there is a branch-off to the Yaupon Trail, which is an 0.5-mile alternative trail. The Yaupon Trail ends at the beach, which is then accessible by boardwalk.

Yellow Branch Falls, located in the Yellow Branch Picnic Area above Walhalla, is not what you expect when you hear the words "falls" and "branch" in the same title.

Nestled in a mixed pine/hardwood stand, this picnic area is beautiful any time of year. Yellow Branch Creek is located across from the picnic area and is easily experienced by a short-loop hiking trail.
