Garden Trail

From Perimeter Road, head through the gate up to a junction with Lancecap Loop and veer left. The entire trail is paved, making gradual slopes up and down. For the most part, the path is well-shaded, surrounded by tall trees. After making your way through woods and passing some small cottages, you'll arrive at Discovery Lane and the geology museum. From here, you can find small entrances to specific gardens and landscapes, plus access to the visitor center. This is a quiet, tranquil place to hike in spite of the highways surrounding the garden's perimeter and the bustle of Clemson campus.
