Mountain Biking Tower Loop

*****   Add a review
#21 of 115 mountain bike trails in South Carolina
#1,740 in the world

3.5 mile Tower Loop is one of the more advanced trails in the FATS system but advanced is a bit of a misnomer. Very little about this trail is actually hard. In fact, it's a very enjoyable ride with only a little elevation gain and a couple of roots to challenge you.
