Confirmed from Laurel Hill County Park Trailhead'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.
Former plantation featuring an avenue of oak trees, picnic tables, and trails for walking and biking.
What runners say about Laurel Hill County Park Trailhead
“A beautiful walk in the woods and if you take every inch of the trails you can actually walk 7 miles.”
I love Laurel Hill Park Trails. This was a place of old plantation. The house got burned many years ago, only an old well is left on the site . Live oaks alley is amazing . It is my happy place. Good spot to have picnics.
Definitely the best walking / biking trails in Mt Pleasant hands down. Can get pretty buggy during the summer so just bring bug spray. The views by the old oaks are stunning!
Its a great place to take your kids and family there is fun trails for hiking a play area tennis courts and track for running a baseball field there is even a little lake and dock for fishing the only thing missing is a pool maybe one day they will expand but for now its still a great place to go for a family outing…
Very nice and mostly shaded trail. The trails are marked every so often so you don't get confused. And it has many benches to take breaks. There is also a nice open field with picnic tables available while walking the trail.
