Hiking and Biking Trails
Southern’s 1,300-acre campus, nestled in a quiet valley, includes 800 acres of forest,
crisscrossed with nearly 40 miles of hiking and biking trails. The trails are spread
across White Oak Mountain on the west side of the valley and Bauxite Ridge on the
east. They stretch from the lowest point of the valley to the ridge tops overlooking
the university. The trail system is perfect for walkers, hikers, mountain bikers,
and cross-country trail runners. With sections of varying difficulty, the trails are
suitable for everything from a lazy meander to a muscle-toning endurance workout.
The pine and hardwood forest through which the trails wind is also a paradise for
the nature enthusiast, with wildflowers, birds, a creek habitat, and many other natural
features.
The trails are maintained by Landscape Services. For more information, call 423.236.2747.
