Family Friendly A nice, relatively flat trail that starts and ends in the Day Use Area.

Description

The trail starts with a short wooden bridge across the Lee Hall Reservoir and provides access to the Twin Forts Trail and the continuation of the White Oak Nature Trail.

The second segment of the White Oak Nature Trail continues to wind past the the Sycamore Creek Trail, Swamp Fire Trail and Wynn's Mill Loop Trail. These trails can be added as options to increase mileage or access the Bikeway Trail. Most of the trails provide great views of nature and Civil War earthworks along the way.

The third segment of the trail begins at the Swamp Bridge that crosses Deer Run Creek. This section is a relatively flat trail that meanders along the lakeside before it returns to the Day Use Area where parking and bathrooms can be found.

I started out on one trail then changed my mind and took a different route. Big mistake. Thought I was lost for a minute there. — 4h 20m

We started for Twin Forts Loop, but opted for the slightly longer hike. It's a very flat, clear trail. We saw ducks, geese and sea gulls. 2.6mi — 0h 59m

Nice, shady dirt trail with plenty of benches and overlooks to enjoy with flora and fauna. The trail has a lot of tree roots, so watch your step! 3.1mi — 1h 54m
