Info: Southern’s 1,300-acre campus includes nearly 40 miles of trails on Bauxite Ridge and White Oak Mountain that are open to public walkers, hikers, mountain bikers, and cross-country trail runners. With sections of varying difficulty, the trails are suitable for anything 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.
Trailheads and printed maps for White Oak Mountain’s trails are located in the outdoor kiosks near the Outdoor Education Center and Summerour Hall. The trailhead for Bauxite Ridge is at the end of Sunkist Terrace off College Drive East.
