Confirmed from Country Charm Conservation Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature preserve featuring a trail that leads to a beach on the river.

“We float the Stilly all the time and its gorgeous, especially thru this section.”
Good parking, nice trail, short hike sandy secluded beach nice for soaking up the sun and cold river for cooling off rapidly
Easy to navigate trail system leading to the river. Parking avaliable at entrance to the trail, all green areas before parking lot ate private, for residents only.
Liked privacy, rope swing but beware of mile hike from parking area to water. ..not steep but a ways to go
