# 9 - Hike the Biggin
-Creek Trail
Rated: Moderate
5.0 miles, round-trip, loop
The Biggin Creek Trail was primarily developed
for mountain bikers, but is open and encouraged for
use by hikers and trail runners. This trail offers a lot
for the family adventurer. It's one of the few trails in
the area with lots of elevation change. You'll hike
countless small, and sometimes steep hills with
roots, stumps and other obstacles. The hike stops
by the namesake, beautiful Biggin Creek. You may
see egrets, herons, turtles and alligators. The best
part: this fun adventure is located in the heart of
the town of Moncks Corner, the county seat.
