Hiking trails planned at Sassafras Mountain

The South Carolina DNR plans two new hiking trails at Pickens County’s Sassafras Mountain.  Public input, comments and guidance are invited during a meeting at 10 o’clock Monday morning, February 8 at the Clemson DNR office at 311 Natural Resources Drive.  One trail is to offer a view of Sassafras Falls on Abner Creek—about one-half mile below the summit of the mountain.  A second trail would be constructed from the parking area near the top to the summit, about 200 feet higher in elevation.
