A shoreline loop
This 5.6-mile easy loop follows the Badin Lake shoreline for about half the walk before returning through hardwoods to Cove Boat Ramp.
You can also join it from Arrowhead or Badin Lake campgrounds and Kings Mountain Point. High water can leave sections boggy near the creeks; check the agency map and notices when choosing your start.
