There is also a 6.1-mile, moderately difficult loop trail for equestrians. The shady equestrian trail remains popular because of its short, steep hills and some refreshing creek crossings. The 276-acre plot of woodlands began as a project by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. For many years, the woods saw use primarily by just hikers and equestrians. But mountain bikers recently discovered the area and turned it into an especially popular destination.

At Lynch’s Woods Park, a 4.2-mile gravel road circles through the woodlands, offering access to 7.5 miles of hiking and biking trails. There are also equestrian trails available at this park. A three-mile section of the cross-state Palmetto Trail also runs through the Piedmont park and connects to six miles of equestrian paths.
