Join us for a peaceful evening stroll along one of the prettiest trails in the area! This scenic loop winds through shady forests, open meadows, and stretches along the shoreline of Lake Wylie, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature, chat with fellow hikers, and take in the views.

This is an easy, beginner-friendly hike with gentle terrain and a relaxed pace. Whether you're brand new to hiking or just looking for a low-key way to get outside after work, this trail is a great choice.

This trail is dog friendly if you want to bring along your puppers!

We understand that this hike is around dinner time so please feel free to bring snacks in case you anticipate feeling peckish.

The Trailhead Store where we will park also sells snacks and drinks if you forget to bring either. This is a free hike connected to Daniel Stowe property but not part of their gardens.

This hike will be led by Food Lion.
