Like the Jones Branch Loop, the Lawson Branch Loop meanders through sever-
al different habitats including mature upland hardwood stands, scenic creek bot-
toms, and fallow fields. Along the 2.4-mile-long trail you will have a chance to
see a beautiful stream, Lawson Branch. Along this section are some really nice
cascades, including a horseshoe-shaped one near the end of the loop, and a nice
view of the wide Indian Camp Creek from high atop a bluff as it flows into Shoal
Creek and eventually Wilson Lake. The best time to take in the view is late fall or
winter when the leaves are down.
As you walk the trail, you will have plenty of opportunities to view wildlife.
Along the route you may spot white-tailed deer, quail, fox, and wild turkey. And
there are plenty of other birds to spot as well, including wood ducks, hawks, and
turkey vultures, not to mention a wide variety of songbirds.
The state is serious about keeping equestrian and hiking trails separate.
