Description: Starting from the Park Office, this moderately strenuous, well-marked 1.3-mile loop will provide you with a 1 hour getaway in the land that Cherokee Indians once traversed. The most distinguishing feature of this trail, the natural bridge, provides a natural fixture for you to cross Poe Creek, which you will follow for a short distance of your hike. You will enjoy the melodic sound of a tributary of the park’s major attraction, Lake Keowee, while surrounded by mountain laurel, blueberries, and Bowman’s root.
