The 276-acre plot of woodlands began as a project by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. For many years, the woods saw use primarily by just hikers and equestrians. But mountain bikers recently discovered the area and turned it into an especially popular destination. Turn left, and drive to the traffic light where SC 34 splits to the right. The entrance to Lynches Woods is at a large sign on the left.
Horse trailers can park and unload at the gravel parking lot in front on the old armory.
