Beautiful, clean, and free! Go for a walk It’s good for your health. Trash cans and a portapot at the trailhead where we were and plenty of parking.
The ABSOLUTE best place in the county for biking and running! Beautiful and quiet. The 6 mile out-and-back between Zoar and Bolivar is the perfect family bike outing.
Gorgeous! Haven’t ever had a bad experience here. It is best to go during the work week/hours, as there are few people there.
Nice little trail. The locks are cool. We hiked all the way to fort Laurens…the fort was a bit disappointing but the trail there was nice. I think it is really great that there is a self serve bike repair rack there complete with tools and an air pump.
Absolutely GREAT trail. I’ve been coming here for YEARS. However, be sure to HIDE or remove anything that looks remotely valuable. Somebody busted out my rear driver side window (apparently this side will not set off the alarm hence the choice ) of my LOCKED vehicle to take an empty leather bag in under an hour. Sheriff was notified……
