Description

The Red Trail runs along the outer perimeter of the park. At the park's north end, about a mile of this trail runs along the Catawba River with views of the Oxford dam. Take your time in this section to admire the waters of the river! Like most other trails in the park the Red Trail is a mix of both double and singletrack trail.
