From Pickens, SC take Hwy 178 north towards NC. At the intersection of Hwy 11 continue on Hwy 178 for 8 miles. Horse Pasture Rd is on the left.
Spectacular views of Lake Jocassee. I drove all the way out to the Lake (12 miles) and biked back 6 miles and returned to the Lake. From the lake it is a steady climb back up just over 4.5 miles with only one short reprieve. Nearly 2000' gain in 6 miles when I turned around. Made for a super DH with lots of places to get airborne. Jumping off rock is just over 3 miles from the lake and views are unreal.
