Description
The Knot, utilizing segments of Coquina and Hilltop trails, parallels itself in places to create multiple hiking options. The Knot was added to the park in 2013 by members of Midlands SORBA and the Sumter ChainGang with reroutes added in 2017 to avoid eroded areas on Coquina and Hilltop trails. Prior to the recent reroutes, this trail was suffering the effects of erosion, but the trails have been restored and are once again a peaceful way to experience the park. The Knot is marked with round, aluminum tags with a black background and shares segments of Coquina Trail (lime green) and Hilltop Trail (red).
