boyd pond park

Quite place out in the county off Silver Bluff Road. Nice hiking trails and tables located near the small lake. The park is a bit run down since our last visit and seems maintenance is at a minimum. The boardwalk provides a view of the marsh at the upper end of the pond and offers a great spot for bird watching.

This tucked away forgotton little park is just that! Has a walking trail completely around it, and offers places to fish ( although I haven't caught anything yet ) If you are looking for a UNDER Utilized park, this is it! And only miles out of downtown Aiken... WOW!

We try to walk through here when we're in Aiken.Trails are walkable, parking is easy and safe.Aiken has several nice places to walk, this is just one of them!

The mountain bike loop is just under 5 miles, but very well thought out. It includes a nice combination of climbs and descents, a few technical challenges and some straights long enough to get up some decent speed.Once you've done a few laps and need to catch your breath, the park also boasts a lake - big enough for canoes, several ball fields, and even a tiny planetarium.

They even have a geocaching trail. Boyd Pond observatory is here as well. We enjoyed our day, the trails are somewhat rustic a points so be aware.
