The Lone Wolf Trail Loop in Castlewood State Park offers a delightful escape into nature, winding through shaded, fern-covered hillsides and along creek banks before climbing to bluffs. You will find yourself immersed in diverse flora, with opportunities to spot local wildlife like deer. The trail's standout feature is the panoramic view of the river valley from its higher points, a truly rewarding vista for such a short hike.
This easy 1.8-mile (2.9 km) loop involves 162 feet (49 metres) of elevation gain and can be completed in about 48 minutes, making it a perfect option for a quick outdoor adventure. The trail is well-marked and accessible from dedicated parking within Castlewood State Park. While generally easy, expect some sections with exposed roots and loose rocks, so wear appropriate footwear.
Historically, the trail is named after the "Lone Wolf Club," a former speakeasy from the area's resort era, with only a stone fireplace remaining as a nod to its past. This route is a great way to experience the rugged beauty of Castlewood State Park and can be linked with other popular trails like the River Scene Trail for an extended exploration of the area's natural features.
