HIKE DESCRIPTION
Let’s plan to meet at the Visitor Center at 9:00 a.m. There is a visitor center / gift shop / flush toilets at the trailhead.

As with most South Carolina parks, there is a $6.00 entry fee. Hike is a combination of three trails (mostly flat) and total mileage will be around 6 miles. Plan to stop every mile or so for a water break since this is a higher mileage hike.

This is a walk-in-the-woods type of hike, lots of pine trees and a lake. The trails are mostly flat and good sturdy shoes that can handle some tree roots, muddy spots, sandy trails, and wooden bridges should be sufficient. You would never know you are close to a bustling city while walking these woods. Trails will include:

Jackson Creek Nature Trail: 0.5 loop
Sandhills Hiking Trail: 2 miles
Loop Trail: 3.5 mile loop

Please comment below if anyone from Charlotte is interested in carpooling. There is optional restaurant afterwards so it is helpful if all in the same car are in agreement.

WHAT TO WEAR:
Sturdy shoes for tree roots, some rocks, sand, wooden bridges, possible muddy spots
Trekking poles if you like them, not mandatory
Layers, Dry wick clothes
Sunscreen / bug spray

WHAT TO BRING:
Your positive bright smiling Dame attitudes
Plenty of water / snacks
Rain Gear, Scarves, gloves, head coverings (just in case)

RESTAURANT: (Optional for those who wish)
Lizard’s Thicket
7411 Nates Road
Columbia, SC 29223

**No show policy for all Trail Dames events**: When you sign up for a hike and complete/ update the required waiver, immediately put it on your calendar. When life interferes, change your RSVP on Meetup right away so that other members have the opportunity to attend. If a member is a no show or has a last minute cancellation without explanation three or more times, that member will be moved to the waitlist. Her name will be continually moved farther down on the waitlist as necessary.
