Payne's Creek North Loop Trail

It was a warm and sunny hike on this multi-use trail on Lake Hartwell. We had an easy walk along this well maintained, mostly flat trail with continual shade from high tree cover. There were no blowdowns and the path was mostly free of rocks and roots. Over half of the hike was along the shoreline that provided a pleasant view of the lake at full pool. Surprisingly, only one wildflower, Pipsissewa, was seen in one location today.
