On March 11, Ed Blackburn will lead a Holy Hike to King Creek Waterfall and Spoonauger Waterfall within the Sumter National Forest in South Carolina. The waterfalls are stunningly beautiful, with well-maintained dirt trails to both. The hike will begin with a 1.5-mile out-and-back to King Creek Waterfall. We will then pick up the Chattooga River Trail and hike to Spoonauger Falls. The group will enjoy lunch and devotion at a beach on the Chattooga River.

 

The trails are well-maintained and easy to follow, although it can be muddy in some areas due to the steady water spray from the waterfalls. Hiking poles are recommended. The hike is rated as moderate with a total distance of just over 4 miles. Dogs are allowed but must remain on leash.

 

Please plan meet at the Burrells Ford Campground parking lot at 10:00am. The trailhead is about 71 miles from St. John in the Wilderness. (Click here to see directions from the church.) If you wish to convoy or carpool from the church, please arrive at the Parish Hall parking lot no later than 8:30am.
