Woods Ferry Horse Trail
The rolling hills of Sumter National Forest near Chester are home to 26 miles of easy-to-moderate loops known collectively as Woods Ferry Horse Trail. The trails run over a terrain that’s primarily red clay and is a wonderful interruption from the area’s typical pine trails. This area has a hardwood canopy of poplars, maples, and sweet gums. Look for deer, turkeys, to red-tailed hawks, quail, blue heron, and even the rare osprey. Bald eagles can be seen along the Broad River corridor.
