Rocks, roots, off canter 6 mile loop. Fun loop if you enjoy an old style trail. Make sure you pay for the parking (box at the sign) if not you may get a parking ticket.

Horn Creek Trail is not closed. USFS is working on the facilities there and the camping area, lake is closed. But you can still ride/hike the trails. You have to park at the new parking lot which is up near section 3. Instead of turning right into the main lot, stay straight on the gravel. Go past 2 right turns, then park on the right.

Entire park was CLOSED, gated off, could not access anything, and sign on gate was posted "closed since August 2010". Have no clue why they have not completed refurbishments listed but it is not accessible...a wasted trip :(

I ran this trail today. Clearly it is closed or just not used anymore by bikes. There were MANY deadfalls across the trail - no way a bike has been around here in awhile. The trail is about 1 ft wide and so overgrown in many places that it is hard to see the ground (I run in Vibram Five Fingers so I need to see the ground). I would do it again though.

Seems I was at the wrong trail head. Another site had alot of posts that the trail is in awesome shape.

The length listed is for the Horn Creek loop alone. There is also another smaller loop branching off of Horn Creek that goes around the Lake. It's about 2 miles in length. Overall, this was a really fun ride. Classic Sumter National Forest Singletrack.

Enjoy bombing through this trail as fast as you can. Would definately recommend going CW -- the trail seems much more fun that way. It seems a little ruttier on the western side, and watch out taking those sharp turns fast on the pine straw -- one slip and you'll be eating it.

This trail was a fun ride. I am a beginner and had to dismount a few times. It took me about 2 hours to bike the loop. There were plenty of places to pick up a lot of speed, and I actually fell off my bike once and a few other times had some near misses with trees. There were a few logs to practice on, a more experienced person may have been able to jump in the air on some of the hills.

This trail is pretty good. It starts off fast with a few ups and downs. Past the creek, the trail goes up a pretty rough hill but then goes down a really fast, smooth, tight section. This is the best part. The trail then continues back up towards the start. All in all, about a six mile round trip.
