South Mills River Trail

Take either the trail or old logging road down to the swinging bridge. Immediately after the bridge the trail bears right in a switch-back up to an old logging road. Turn left on this road and follow it past the Mullinax Trail. At an open space on the left there is a trail which branches off almost backwards that leads to a number of camping spots along the river. You can also continue straight for about two miles to other less used areas on the left near the river, or continue for a mile or so further to the Cantrell Creek Lodge area for other campsites.
