The Big Shoals traditional route starts with the Beavor Loop trail. From the Beavor Loop trail, follow the signs for Big Shoals. The singletrack Ravine trail follows an old wagon road over Bottom Bay Creek and winds through levees and flatwoods to the Little Shoals river overlook. Doubletrack leads to the Palmetto trail, a singletrack section that goes to the Big Shoals overlook. This is a great place for pictures where the river flows over a series of bedrock ledges and drops to create a spectacular section of white water. Continue to ride the shared hiking/biking singletrack to the Big Shoals parking lot and picnic area and restrooms. Next ride the Long Branch Loop located across from the restrooms. There are two options to return to the Beavor Loop trailhead. Ride Road 1, a natural surface road running parallel to the paved Woodpecker trail, with some small stream crossings back to the parking area. Then continue on Road 7 back to the Beavor Loop. Or ride the relaxing 3.4-mile paved Woodpecker trail to the Little Shoals tract parking area and return to HQ by turning left on CR 135.

Access Info

Trailhead directions:
Turn left on Hwy. 41. Follow the directions to access the Beavor Loop trailhead (before the Hwy. 41 bridge).
You can also ride/drive to the Little Shoals entrance on CR 135. From Hwy. 41, turn left on CR 135 and continue for a couple of miles. Turn right at the first entrance for Little Shoals park. There is another entrance that is further down CR 135 that goes to the Long Branch (Big Shoals) parking area and canoe launch for the Big Shoals park. This unpaved road is sandy. There is an entrance fee to use the state park.
