Let's hike the bike and horse trails at Fort Mountain State Park. We'll start at the Visitor Center for a bio break. And to meet up with any independent arrivals. We will park near the entrance of the park and hiking clockwise we will take the Gahuti Trail until the #301 bike trail crosses to our left and continue down a steep power easement, passing an old talc mine on the left. At checkpoint #1 we will go right on Horse Trail #407, passing 2 waterfalls and 3 old talc mines. Then we will continue all the way along (Trail #407), with a short walk along Horse Trail #403 to Trail #301, taking a right on #301, passing another mine. We will continue on #301 passing another waterfall, when we reach the stem of #301, we will continue (make a left) a short distance to the park road and make a left along the road to finish the hike back where we began. Elevation gain: 3000 feet approximately. Distance: 12 miles approximately. WARNING: This trail has the potential for briers, muddy water crossings. I would advise you to wear waterproof boots. $5.00 for parking fee at the state park or bring your state park pass. | ||||||||
