Itinerary: | |||||||
Join us for a hike at Sweetwater Creek State Park. We will complete a 4 mile loop on the white and red trails, followed by 3 mile loop on the yellow trail. This is a fun and scenic hike very close to town. We will start on the white trail, which passes through a remote area of the park over to Jack's Lake and then meets up with the red trail at the falls. We will continue onto the red trail, passing a large Civil War mill ruin, and then onto the yellow trail, that passes through a hardwood forest and has an elevation gain of approximately 350 feet.
Total distance is 7 miles, and we will try to maintain a moderate pace. http://www.gastateparks.org/info/sweetwater/ | |||||||
