Carrick Creek Trail

Carrick Creek Trail provides an accessible introduction to Table Rock State Park’s natural beauty, looping past a scenic waterfall through diverse forest habitats. The trail follows the creek upstream through rhododendron thickets and hardwood forest, with the cascading waterfall creating a photogenic destination. The moderate terrain makes this suitable for families and hikers seeking natural beauty without the demanding climb to Table Rock’s summit. The trail’s position at the base of Table Rock Mountain provides dramatic views of the peak towering overhead. This is an excellent choice for visitors wanting to experience Table Rock State Park’s scenery on a shorter, less strenuous hike.
