Nature Bridge Nature Trail

Description:  Located in Keowee-Toxaway State Park starting of the Park Office, this moderately strenuous, well-marked 1.5 mile trail provides a nice get away on 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 the hike.

Mandy and I hiked this trail one Sunday afternoon in November.  This was really a re-introduction to hiking for me.  I haven't hiked in 18+ years - except for the occasionaly lesiure walk on pavement.  Truly enjoyed having Mandy with me to show me the ropes and her company. 


This trail took us about 40 minutes with some time spent taking pictures.  I think I did pretty well, considering I didn't realize we would encounter some climbing - guest I should pay attention to the description before I head out.  The weather was very pleasant and we had intended to extend this hike another 2.7 miles on the Raven Rock path, but time ran out.  We had to be in Greenville later that afternoon.
