Cedar Springs OHV Trail

Cedar Springs OHV Trail is approximately 12 miles of one-way OHV loops with a two-way connector section in the Long Cane Ranger District of Sumter National Forest, accessed via SC-72 west of Greenwood, a separate trailhead from Parsons Mountain approximately 10 miles to the southwest in the same national forest district. The Long Cane Ranger District occupies the South Carolina Upstate Piedmont between the I-85 corridor and the Savannah River, and the Cedar Springs system captures the rolling upland character of this landscape: mixed pine-hardwood forest on Piedmont red clay, stream crossings that reflect the drainage density of the Carolina Piedmont, and the moderate terrain relief that distinguishes Upstate South Carolina from both the flat coastal plain to the east and the Blue Ridge foothills to the north. ATVs and dirt bikes are the permitted vehicle classes; full-size 4x4 trucks are not permitted on the trail corridors. The same Recreation.gov OHV day permit ($5/day, $50/season) that covers Cedar Springs also covers the Parsons Mountain and Enoree OHV trails in the same district, riders who want to combine multiple Sumter NF systems in a single trip get genuine value from the shared-permit structure. Parking and a portable restroom are at the trailhead. Open year-round, weather permitting; both trail systems in the Long Cane District close for the first two weeks of rifle deer season (864-388-9521).
