About

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).

    Today is 7/31/2025. If anybody who is planning to come here anytime in the near future and just so happens to see this, then you might want to take a chainsaw or even a handsaw would be be ok, because there is a tree down that’s blocking the trail about 5 mins or so from the trailhead. The tree is a little less than a foot in diameter..2 people could probably even move it out of the way, but I was alone today so I had to take my machete and cut out a trail around it. Other than that, this place was awesome! I like it better than parsons mountain honestly..mainly because it has more speed sections and lot more jumps/whoops.

    I was there to clear and clean up the trails. USFS didn't have anyone to get the trails back open after Helene and would have closed them until Summer 2025. 5 volunteers and myself got this trail opened back up, you're welcome!

    ***NOT MAINTAINED!!*** Massive ruts and trees which require detours. Definitely challenging and technical. First 3rd is probably the worst. The tail loop isn't so bad. After ducking under a couple trees, the last 3rd is the best. Beware of rutted out water hazard in the first mile. Recommend wearing long sleeves or risk getting torn up by briars and branches!

    Good place to ride. Two loops that equal about 14 miles total. The trails are in good shape and can be fun and flow well. I only wish there were more trails to ride here.
