On pretty, warm weather weekends, you might want to surrender this trail to the motorcyclists and save this otherwise excellent ride for a weekday. See MAP . This loop is open to mountain bikes year-round. Hunting is permitted at certain times of the year in the forest, so check with the Wambaw District ranger station for specific dates. Since the opening day of hunting season is generally a zoo, you might consider planning your ride for another day.
All services are available in Charleston.
The ranger station can provide you with a list of campgrounds located within the forest and their amenities. There are poisonous snakes in the forest, but they are not often spotted on this heavily-used trail. During the hunting season, you should wear bright, unnatural colors. Mosquitoes, ticks, and red bugs are always happy to see you keep them at bay with an ample dousing of bug dope on any exposed skin. Help is available in nearby McClellanville and also in Charleston.
