Itinerary: | |||||||
This park is maintained by the Cherokee County Saddle Club, and may be used by both horse riders and hikers, BUT PEDESTRIANS MUST YIELD TO RIDERS. Most trails are named after horse coat colors. We will walk a loop consisting of a short section of Palomino, all of Dun and Ellen's Way and the southern portion of Dapple. After reaching Greenway West we will walk North until we reach Chestnut, which we will walk in its entire length, returning to the parking lot via Greenway West and Sorrel. We will pause during our hike to have lunch at some tables located at the beginning of the Sorrel Trail, 0.7 miles from the parking lot. There are some shallow creek crossings, so waterproof boots are advised. | |||||||
