Review: Trail is in pretty bad shape right now from downed trees. Two bridges were totally trashed. Might want to check the CSRA sorba website for more info before driving down to rider this one for a few months.

Review: As of mid-Dec 2012: heavy leaf cover, but remains fast and flowy. 3 distinct sections: first several miles through big woods, in and out of stream crossings with bridges (a few off camber and bumpy). Next, on to a high upper meadow crossing with a great zigzag downhill. Chapter 3: open woods along streams with a final punchy rocky climb and sharp uphill surprise. All in all, worth the trip. Note: main parking lot closed for winter, but parking on forest service road is allowed.

Review: Great trail. A little downfall currently around the 3 mile marker. There are few directions to the trail head, so after you pay at the pay station, take the road immediately to your left and proceed through the camping area. The trail head has 2 options, go right to circle the lake, about a2 mile loop, or go left to take the 6 miler. The left trail is the one you want...a few roots, very flowy, fun trail.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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 :(

Review: 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.

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

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: I loved it! A nice, peaceful, quiet trail. All of it is though the woods, some beside the creek. Relatively flat, but several long up/down hills: one of each that's pretty tough heading up, or pretty fast heading down, depending on which way you bike the trail. We biked it one way, chilled for 15 minutes, then decided to bike it again the other way - perfect length (5.7mile loop). Like the previous reviewer said, it's great b/c you can bike it as hard or as relaxed as you'd like. There aren't too many technical spots, unless you try to go fast, so it's great for taking along a beginner.

Similar Trail: Petersburg is relatively nearby: flatter, easier, 7 miles one way (14 out and back)

Review: 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.

Review: horn creek. the perfect circle. how nice it is to ride from the house to the trail. do a six mile ride, make it as easy going or as hard as you want. don't forget to take a dip after your ride in the lake. this is the perfect trail for beginners and especially for all you city folks. if you're not scared, go camping after your ride in the primitive camp sites. it's a great day and night in the great outdoors.
