A walk in the woods continues to be one of the most sought-after nature experiences. The smells, sounds and unpredictable opportunity to observe wildlife in their natural setting heightens our senses and soothes our soul. The timelessness of it is sublime.
In a perfect world, groomed hiking trails are found right within a neighborhood. Mission accomplished! The Coves Mountain River Club strives for perfection in every way and has completed nearly 20 miles of hiking trails. With 3,200 acres ranging from 1,040 to 1,700 feet in elevation, trail difficulty ranges from flat easy hikes along the Johns River to more strenuous climbs up to Davis Knob in our gated community.
Our hiking and horse trail system blends seamlessly within the forest. The hiking and horse trails are wide, well marked and lead to scenic outlooks, picnic areas, and community parks. Thirteen miles of the trails are ‘horse friendly’. Residents can choose a short day hike or a full day adventure without ever leaving our gated community.
Fauna and flowers common to see on our trails include mountain laurel, poplar, rhododendron, azaleas and wild mushrooms. Bird enthusiasts can expect to see a variety of woodpeckers, owls, bluebirds, colorful finches and hummingbirds. Unplug, pack a lunch and grab a camera. You’re in for a treat hiking our trails.
