unique facility is widely considered<br />
Mecca for the disc golf community.<br />
The IDGC features three 18-basket<br />
championship courses, a pro<br />
shop, and a museum dedicated<br />
to the history of the sport.<br />
Mountain biking, hiking, and trail running<br />
are also very popular in Columbia<br />
County. The BARTRAM TRAIL, a<br />
well-groomed trail with stunning views<br />
of Clark’s Hill Lake, is regularly teeming<br />
with two-wheeled and two-footed<br />
aficionados seeking an aerobic fix. The<br />
intermediate-level trail offers several<br />
access points allowing users to go for a<br />
quick jaunt or take in a day’s adventure.<br />
The most popular stretch of trail is the<br />
15.5 mile segment between the US<br />
Army Corps’ West Dam Recreation Area<br />
and Wildwood Park. More advanced<br />
riders will also enjoy the KEG CREEK<br />
TRAIL located across Washington<br />
Road from Wildwood Park and also the<br />
trails at MISTLETOE STATE PARK<br />
with its challenging climbs, creek<br />
crossings, and “rooty,” rocky terrain.<br />
All the action, however, is not confined<br />
to the rural area. BLANCHARD<br />
WOODS PARK in Columbia County’s<br />
town center of Evans offers great<br />
appeal to the “extreme” athlete. The<br />
county opened a new BMX track and<br />
skateboard park next to the park’s<br />
soccer stadium in March 2015. The<br />
two facilities have proven quite<br />
popular with athletes young and old.<br />
