This is a great 7 mile (3.5 out and back) trail. Lots of wood bridges, elevation and some exposure. Some of the exposure can be narrow but doable. Parking is available at the beginning in Walnut Creek Park in Lancaster, SC. It's about 2.5 miles to Walnut Creek Bridge in Walnut Creek Subdivision (crosses over Twelve Mile Creek). The trail continues on across the bridge and gets steep, narrow and some exposure. Definitely in the upper intermediate category but worth the one mile ride to the end where there is a suspension bridge that is in both North & South Carolina. You can actually stand on the bridge and be in both states at the same time! It is surrounded by communities but there are plenty interesting features and wildlife to compensate. The suspension bridge is a highlight. This trail is multi use & two way so be alert to hikers and other trail users.
