When you set off on the Raven Rock Loop Trail in South Carolina, you’ll be treated to some of the best scenery the state has to offer, including boulders to lush foliage. Even better? It’s picture-perfect no matter what time of the year you hike it.
A popular path that's brimming with natural beauty, Raven Rock Loop Trail meanders 4.2 miles through Keowee-Toxaway State Park in Sunset.
Due, in large part, to its hilly terrain and uphill climbs, the scenic trail earns a moderate rating from AllTrails. However, hikers assert it's not too tough for even the average hiker.
You'll even pass a waterfall that is the perfect spot to stop for a breather, enjoy the views, and snap photos. If you're hiking in the summer, cool off in one of the swimming holes along the way.
You'll be treated to breathtaking views of Lake Keowee from a picturesque overlook. Bring a picnic along so you can really relax and drink in the views.
