This hike is in Pickens County off Cleo Chapman to the end of Mill Creek Road. Parking very limited as it is at a dead end road with houses near the trail head. The trail wonders mostly along Cane Creek and is not marked very well making for a difficult navigation. We only had a few wrong turns but always made our way back to the creek bed. There were many areas where the Oconee Bells and other wild flowers were visible. Some of the trail follows an old railroad bed and passes along a rock sluice. With an added on mile to Mill Creek in the other direction upon our return, this hike made for a 5.5 mile hike. There were so many trees down that it made for a moderate hike with all the ups and overs we had to encounter. Thanks to Carol, for her navigation skills on the return, for if it hadn't been for her this hike would have been much longer.
