Summary: This particular trail is the Yehasuri trail. It's a scenic trail that is a part of an old wagon trail that dates back to 1810 with several interpretative signs along the way. You will end at one of the most beautiful sections of the Catawba River that exists today. There are only two free-flowing sections remaining and this area is one of them. If you linger long enough by the rivers edge you'll most likely see a Great Blue Heron skimming the water. There is a rock shelf that extends across the river and the sounds of the rushing water is worth the hike !! Trailhead: From Exit 79 on I-77 (Dave Lyle Blvd.) at Rock Hill, turn right onto Springdale Road (York County S46-97). Drive for 1.5-miles and turn left onto Hopewell Road (S-4657). Drive for 1.8-miles and turn left onto Neely Store Road (S46-31). Drive for 1.0-mile and turn right onto Indian Trail Road (S46-160), which will take you to the Catawba Reservation. Follow the signs to the Cultural Center. The trail begins directly behind it, look for the twin totem poles.

Reviewed by Rachel on 1/15/2012 This was a pleasant little hike with basically no elevation change. The directions on this page are not very good - you have to turn LEFT on Dave Lyle Boulevard once you exit I-77, as well as the note on a previous comment about going 270 degrees when you come to the roundabout. Also, you turn right onto Reservation Road (NOT Indian Trail Road) from Neely Store Road, and then bear left on Indian Trail Road shortly after the turn. The hike itself starts out quite nice and well-maintained with interesting signs until you hit the Catawba River. It's not clear after that where to go, and the path to the sitting area is very overgrown. However, the view of the river was very nice and we enjoyed the legends of the yehasuri.
Reviewed by aletoledo on 3/20/2010 lat/lon is 34.9083 -80.8787 Trail is nice, if unmaintained. There were some good intentions for the trail, but whatever group put it together lost interest and have allowed the trail signs to deteriorate. I went to hike though and this was pleasant. Since it's not the most obvious trailhead and it seems more like a local neighborhood trail, the couple times I've been there there was nobody else around. 
Reviewed by JimZ on 4/4/2009 Lat/Lon for trail head is incorrect. Please post a review with the correct coordinates so this can be corrected. 
Reviewed by Matt on 3/4/2007 This hiking trail looked like it was put together by a group of drunken teenagers over a weekend. It was unkept, with trash and debris throughout. ATV vehicles had worn ruts on the trail which collected water and made it muddy and unpleasant. The signage was old and decaying. Unpleasant looking people were staring at us in the parking lot. If you like to feel uncomfortable and worry about your car being broken into, this is the hike for you. 
Reviewed by Betty on 8/1/2006 This was a nice little trail. I could find no way to get lost. The only problem was in finding it. The entrance is not visible from your car. Its off to the left side of the building. If there had not been someone to ask, we would have left without finding it. The directions were great except there was no way to tell which way to go on the round-about on Springdale Rd.(270 degrees) Also if you miss the reservation sign you may turn right instead of left off 77. All in all- enjoyable.
Reviewed by Pam on 7/9/2006 Trail was overgrown with roots. "Garden" was a bunch of weeds. Puddles with snakes. Four-wheelers, which were against rules. Took a wrong turn, ended up on a street with run-down trailers - one had five cats (at least) and a dog (unleashed)who barked at me. Should have went to gym!
