Well, it includes a long walk in the park, (3 miles) and a beautiful one. Lake Waccamaw Police Chief Scott Hyatt and I rode bikes around the lake Friday (Aug. 15).
It took us only two hours. We rode the road part pretty casually, but tried the trail faster than you would if you leisurely walked the whole way. It really is pretty, as you hug the shore of the lake most of the way. We could have stopped at one of the many small beaches along the way, and we met a boater who had stopped for the scenery.
We rode counterclockwise, so we approached the trail on the dam side. The water level is still very low and crossing the dam was "no dam problem." The first mile or so has a lot of roots, the second has packed forest bottom and the third is sandy and camping trails. It's not a big deal - you could walk it in an hour or less, even with your bike - but it is important to have the right mindset at the outset so you won't be upset, or feel like you were set up.
Think of it as a 14-mile bike ride and a 3-mile walk.
That being said, I wouldn't really recommend it for young children. But, this is one of the things we need to comprehend during this trial year, and I can use everyone's help with input.
