The Oconee Station and Station Cove Falls Trail has been called a beautiful hidden treasure. It really comes alive with colorful wildflower blooms in the spring, perfect for an outdoor adventure when you’re ready to get outside following the winter months. Although it’s a shorter trail that’s just over a mile and a half out and back, taking about half an hour to complete, you’ll want to allow more time to enjoy the flowers. It’s one of the best trails for spring hiking in South Carolina.

The trail is located in Oconee State Park in the northwestern corner of South Carolina close to the Georgia border, and it's just one of over a dozen trails in this park, which also offers campsites and boat, canoe, and kayak rentals if you'd like to stay overnight and experience more of what this park offers.

You may want to wait until mid-spring, as sometimes the wildflowers aren't blooming much yet along this South Carolina hiking trail.
