Attention Trail Users
Clemson Experimental Forest is a joy, not “RIGHT” to use for multi-recreational purposes. This Property is an asset for horseback riders, hikers, and bicyclists. (NO motorized vehicles). Remember it is important to respect the logging work areas and research projects. We need to express our appreciation to Clemson University for having access to the forest by working together to protect the integrity of the forest.
Much appreciation,
South Carolina Upstate Equine Council
Many thanks to everyone who participated either as a competitor or volunteer at the SCUEC Hunter Pace & Cowboy Trail Rides over the past years.

Fant’s Grove Trails System is just outside of historic Pendleton, SC and directly behind the T. Ed Garrison Arena. It is part of the Clemson University Experimental Forest which is 8,000 acres of protected woodland.
SCUEC is dedicated to the upkeep and improvement of these trails. Please help us keep our trails clean for everyone to enjoy! If you pack it in – pack it out and please follow trail rules.
