Description: 

This biking/hiking trail winds through the southeastern-central part of the Long Cane Ranger District.

This 12-mile linear trail follows Wine and Turkey Creeks. The northern portion of the trail begins at the paved parking lot on Highway 283 and travels southwest for 5 miles to Key Bridge and is often called the Wine Creek portion of the trail. The trail continues on from Key Bridge for 7 miles to end on FS 617A. This portion of the trail is usually called the Turkey Creek portion of the trail.

Numerous access points give you a choice of various lengths and durations of your visit. Wine Creek is about 10 feet wide and has rocky bottoms. Its pools are similar to those of more mountainous areas. By contrast, Turkey Creek is slow moving and wider. With occasional departures to climb ridges, this trail generally follows the first flat area above the water. Try your luck at fishing in Wine and Turkey Creeks.

Directions: 

From Edgefield, drive west on SC 23 for approximately 16.5 miles. The trailhead is on the right just after you cross the bridge over Steven’s Creek (Modoc Bridge) at the Edgefield/McCormick county line. An optional trailhead is at Hamilton Branch State Recreation Area. Continue driving on SC 23 and turn right onto US 221. Drive approximately 1.9 miles and the park entrance is on the left.
