The Loblolly and Reedy Creek Trail Loop is a great loop trail for hiking, running and biking in Umstead State Park near Raleigh, North Carolina.  TRAILI started my run on the Loblolly Trail from the parking area and then continued on the Reedy Creek Trail. Combining these two trails forms a loop back to the parking area. The trail is a 4-mile loop with approximately 450 feet of elevation gain....

Reedy Creek and Loblolly Trail is a loop trail that takes you by a lake located near Raleigh, North Carolina.

Start your hike from the Reedy Creek Parking Area. Hike through the woods down to the Reedy Creek. At this point, cross the bridge and hike along the river to the ruins of an old mill and some nice rock formations. Continue up the hill to the River Creek Multi-use trail and then back down the hill to the parking area. In the right season (spring), you may see lots of wildflowers along the way!
