Boyd Pond

Review

The trail at Boyd Pond is owned by the Aiken County department of Parks and Recreation, but managed by local riders, so it is in excellent condition. This 5 mile loop is filled with tight turns and short, steep climbs that make for a really fun ride. The loop is on a small tract of land and sometimes doubles back on itself, so make sure to ride with someone who has ridden it before so that you don’t cheat yourself out of a couple miles. The trail is very sandy which can be a blessing and a curse; it drains almost immediately after rain, but at some points along the trail traction can be an issue. Overall, this is an excellent trail that makes the most out of a small space, and if you happen to be traveling through Aiken, you should be sure to give this spot a visit. You can even cool off in the pond afterwards if you’re not too beat from the trail.
