Trail News – Cooler weather is finally here and shorter days means it is time to pull out the nightlights. The trails are getting cleaned up slowly but surely! Use caution since there are trees down on some of the trails right now!
Turkey Creek – Great condition – get out and ride it!
FATS – Great condition – wear orange, respect fellow land users, and remember that Sunday’s are no hunting on public lands in South Carolina.
Wine Creek- We think Wine is cleared all the way through now!
Horn Creek/Lick Fork - Good condition.
Hickory Knob – There are trees down on the Lake Loop and on Turkey Ridge.
Canal Off-Road – The trail is in good condition – but there are trees down on the section down by the river near the start.
Modoc – Recent reports are the trail needs some maintenance due to overgrown areas and trees down.
Long Cane – Good condition!
Baker Creek – No current report!
Bartram (Wildwood) - Still closed due to construction.
Keg Creek – In good shape – Dale and crew have this trail in great shape.
Bartram Trail (Lake) – Good condition – trees have been removed and the airstrip area has been mowed.
Issaqueena - The southern section of Issaqueena is WMA so bikers should avoid it until hunting season is over on December 22nd except on Sundays. The Doyle Bottom area is a particular mess. All the trails outside of the WMA north of Dam Road are in good condition.
ORA Trail - Good condition and reports are that this is a great night riding trail as well.
