Things to note ... there's quite a bit of sun exposure when the leaves on trees haven't bloomed out and there's very little shade on the road walk and there's what appears to be a controlled burn area on the Oconee end as well. As I mentioned . there is a parking fee for Stumphouse Park. And the other end is in Oconee State Park ... which is also a fee or requires the SC park pass. For an easier trek ... you could leave your car at one end and get shuttled to the start. Stumphouse Park is really nice .. but you do have to be aware of mountain bikers. This is a pretty easy pair of passages to do and between the lakes/reservoir at Stumphouse, ridgeline views from the road walk, and the sights in Oconee ... it's not quite as boring as I'd expected it to be.
