Located in Woodside’s scenic Meadows neighborhood, this flat trail loops around the lush landscape surrounding the neighborhood’s park and pavilion. Take a break during your walk to enjoy elegantly curated flowers and greenery from the Southern Living Plant Collection, or rest in the gazebo by the outdoor fire pit.  

This trail wanders around the park in Woodside’s Summer Hill neighborhood, featuring a gorgeous pond and covered Pavilion. The path connects back to Woodside’s trail network, so you can either enjoy the loop or venture into the community’s extensive system of trails for a more challenging hike.  

Set in our lushly landscaped Reserve Park, this trail is a quarter-mile paved loop where our residents can enjoy walking to the park and tuning into their favorite music while they walk, jog, or run with a view that a treadmill just can’t compete with. 

This “in and out” trail wanders through a lovely wooded area behind the 15th and 16th fairways of The Reserve’s Nicklaus Design Golf Course. The trail concludes with a beautiful view of the course, where walkers then backtrack to the trail’s starting point. 

Oakman Trails are two scenic options for discovering the beauty within the gates of Woodside. The Long Circuit is a mix of woodland trails and paved sidewalks that travels through wooded areas between the fifth and sixth holes of The Reserve’s Nicklaus Design Course. Walkers get views of stunning Oakman Lake and wetland areas, crossing over bridges and dams on their adventure through the community.

The Creek trail is a short neighborhood trail, perfect for those looking for a casual and scenic stroll. With a flat path that follows and crosses over Cottonwood Creek, observation platforms with seating, all in a shaded woodland area, this trail provides the perfect setting for a retreat into a naturally beautiful setting.

Beautifully shaded with the community’s established overhanging flora, the length of this trail in and out totals 1.5 miles and offers hilly terrain to challenge yourself on in comparison to most other trails in Woodside. Make sure to bring a sturdy pair of hiking boots and a walking stick for support!  

This system of trails runs through and around the neo-traditional community of The Village at Woodside, next to businesses, homes, and restaurants alike. From lighted paths around landscaped gardens, bridges, and ponds to meandering trails through woodlands, the trails in this community are perfect for a rejuvenating stroll with your morning coffee.  

This lollypop-shaped trail follows the perimeter of the 110-acre Hollow Creek Land Preserve, a dedicated nature sanctuary set aside by the community’s developer, Rick Steele, in 2007. While traversing this trail, you’ll enjoy stunning views of 4 golf holes, a pedestrian bridge, beautiful woodland areas, water views, and the Anderson Pond dam. 

Outside of Woodside’s gates lies an abundance of preserved green spaces to explore. Read more below about these various nature sanctuaries, or click below to learn more about everything else our hometown of Aiken has to offer!
