Spring hike on The Reserve’s Granite Dome Trail.

Spring is here and hiking can be a great way to spice up your fitness routine and enjoy the beauty of the Lake Keowee area and its proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains while achieving an excellent workout. The varying terrain can offer a greater challenge for the body than a treadmill or manmade surface. Do keep health history in mind when selecting a trail, but feel free to check out The Reserve Trail System Map or www.sctrails.net to find a trail for you in one of the State and National Parks that surround The Reserve. Stay tuned for more Hiking Tips in April!
