What to Expect

• 14 miles of interconnected loop trails.
  
• The Francis Marion National Forest is a lush landscape of pine stands and wildlife-filled swamps and marshes shaded by towering bald cypress trees. While this may not seem like prime horse riding, the Francis Marion National Forest does offer approximately 33 miles of equestrian friendly trails in two easy to ride loops within its 259,000 acres.
• Trails are open year ‘round but the most popular times are fall, winter, and spring, to avoid the worst of summer’s heat and insects. The climate is hot and humid in the summer and is generally mild in the winter.

Rules and Regulations

• Land Manager = Francis Marion National Forest
• Primarily DAY USE: Primitive camping is available with a permit from the District office.
