The Pine Ridge Trail, located in Beavers Bend State Park, is a figure-eight loop trail that is approximately 3/4 of a mile. The first loop begins right across from the tennis court, and branches to the right. It will lead you through pine and hardwood forests, by a sewage lagoon, then across the top of a ridge. The trail will branch to your right, then to your right again, taking you through a bottomland forest and the floodplain of Beaver Creek. The trail is fairly easy to walk and includes two uphill and two downhill grades.
This is a short nature hike in Beavers Bend State Park. There is an abundance of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, squirrels, and numerous birds. The creek is a highlight of the trail, and the area provides enjoyable shaded spots. During the summer months, there may be some sections with overgrowth. Ticks are known to be frequent in this area, so it is advised to wear long sleeves and pants.
Note: Please no swimming in the sewage lagoon!
