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 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.

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.

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!
