About the Little Lake Creek Wilderness Years after loggers' saws tore through these hills, hardwoods again dominate Little Lake Creek Wilderness. The latter waterway runs the entire length of this relatively narrow Wilderness. On ridges above the drainages, loblolly and shortleaf pines thrive beneath the plentiful sunlight. But many of the pines are now dead, victims of the Southern pine beetle epidemic of the mid-1980s. Colonies of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker share their home here with deer, owls, and armadillos.
Deer hunters come in their season.
The southern portion offers an additional five to six miles of trail.
