I was driving south today, and I wanted to get a hike in, so I stopped by Croft State Park. I didn't really have a plan, so I just found a convenient place to park, near the horse trailer parking. I saw a sign for the Palmetto Trail and decided to follow it. There are several intersecting trails, so it's still very helpful to refer to a map. This trail system is also frequented by bicyclists and horseback riders. The trails were easy, and I enjoyed the park. I mostly had the trail to myself. I'll have to come again and do some longer hikes here.
