Hike Summary:	Great loop for trail running. Not used very much in the off season so it is a good trail to run with the dog. Trails are well maintained and there are few natural hazards to watch for like roots or stones. Nice stream with shoals for part of the hike and a natural stone bridge. Trail takes you down to lake Keowee but it is one heck of a climb back up.
