Wild Horse

Trail Overview

This trail begins with a smooth and easy drive, but conditions change quickly. As you continue, the route becomes more challenging with frequent climbs and descents, deep mud, and large puddles scattered throughout. Progress slows the farther you go due to rough, rocky sections and increasingly uneven terrain. The trail eventually ends at a closed gate next to a warning sign about unexploded ordnance and artillery shells from the nearby military base, so it's definitely a spot to turn around. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along this trail, and no access to water or trash facilities. Cell coverage is limited, so check the OnX app before heading out.

This trail is maintained and easy in the beginning, but becomes more rutted with deep mud.

History

Cherokee Wildlife Management Area occupies more than 31,000 acres of rolling oak-hickory hills, meadows, and pond-dotted creek bottoms in southwestern Cherokee County. The property is split almost evenly between a 16,000-acre Public Hunting Area that stays open for statewide seasons and a 15,360-acre Game Management Area reserved mainly for controlled hunts, allowing wildlife managers to balance public access with habitat protection.
