Feral Hog Alert: Multiple wild hog sightings are being reported along the LCHT primarily but not excluded to low lying creek areas. Wild pigs are generally afraid of humans but may attack if they feel threatened (Particularly a Sow with babies). Many SC Hogs have been reported to carry Swine Brucellosis which is contagious to humans. When you are using the trail the best way to avoid an encounter is to make a lot of noise while riding, especially near creek areas. Please email us any sightings as the USFS is keeping a log in an effort to concentrate on problem areas.

The Greenwood Mnt. Bikers ride and help maintain the Long Cane Horse Trail in Sumter National Forest. The trail head is located between Hwy 10 and Hwy 72 at the intersection of FS 505/506. A Tuesday night group ride meets at 6PM, all skill levels are welcome. Please stay OFF the trails if they are WET. If your tires are leaving tracks or there is standing water on the trail you are not supposed to be there. There are plenty of gravel road routes that you can use to get a ride in if you discover that the trail is too wet to ride. The USFS has closed the trail in the past due to wet conditions and abuse. Let's do our part to avoid a Closure On Demand
