Stay on the color coordinated paths while you hike

Description:

Hiking trails are laid throughout, and pass such interesting spots as the George H. Sparks Reservoir and the ruins of a cotton factory destroyed during the Civil War. Canoe and fishing boat rentals are available, as well as a bait shack, restrooms, and historical information. A day pass costs USD2. From Interstate 20 West, take the Lee Road exit and turn left. Turn left at Cedar Terrace and head straight to Mount Vernon Road.
