Carolina Tour Option - Issaqueena Dam trails

Issaqueena Dam Trail System – Mountain biking
Located only a 20 minute drive from the house, Issaqueena is the ideal location to get in some early season miles on the mountain bike. The terrain is a mix of fast twisty singletrack with rolling hills and descents. It is well maintained and owned by Clemson College and contains over 70km’s of trail. The trails there are not marked in any capacity and it takes a long time to learn them all. Take advantage of my thorough knowledge of these trails when you choose Issaqueena as one of your guided rides for the week.
Learn the art of cornering properly, the hardest skill to learn! I break it down for you in easy to understand steps.
Ideal lesson topics covered while at Issaqueena:
-Cornering
-Weight distribution
-Braking
-Gear selection and cadence
-Clearing obstacles

Est. driving time: 20 minutes
