Adrenaline junkies won’t be disappointed at Baker Creek State Park, where 10 miles of mountain biking trails loop through the forest and wind along the banks of Lake Thurmond. Not your cup of tea? Take it down a notch with the Wild Mint Nature Trail, perfect for a slow meander through the woods. The trail is self-guided, but make sure to read the signs before putting any wild leaves in your mouth. Birds, snakes and mosquitoes love the Nature Trail as well, so keep an eye out. 71,000-acre Lake Thurmond is the glittering jewel of Baker Creek State Park. No matter how exhausted you are from the grueling day of mountain biking, the sunset over Lake Thurmond is not to be missed.
