About This Trail

Imported description

The Upper Glen Artney Area has several trails and the Santee is a white trail. The Santee trail isn't the full length of the state park. It will be like the White Fire on the AT one day. The Bike jumper and Bull Run are the most difficult parts of the trail system. The Bull Run has some changes but they are only on one side of the loop. The two streams are very manageable. This isn't a large loop but it will get you a good workout. You can shorten it by walking on the inside loops of the trail. Near the Soapstone trailhead lies the restrooms and water fountain.
