Really nice trail for low country, very buffed and fast singletrack. Roots and bumps make the mostly flat trail interesting.

Do not go here expecting lung-burning climbs or thrilling descents (this IS the Low Country), but much work has been done to make the trail halfway challenging and rideable no matter how much rain falls (but expect some mudd unless its been dry for 2 weeks). The trail is singletrack/doubletrack and minimal fireroads. Trails are marked with colors and there is pretty good signage but due to the many, many offshoots and fireroads in the area, it is easy to get turned around. I had my GPS and had no problems, even with heavy tree coverage.
Fairly easy trail, I maintained 10 - 12 MPH most of the time and I'm old. Made the rating 2 stars due to route finding complexity and possible length of ride. Definately worth doing
Trail Name: Marrington Plantation

Park here with the trailhead directly in front. Trail Length 16 miles out and back, more or less depending on your route
