Nicholson Ford provides parking and trailhead access to the Foothills Trail and Chattooga Trail in Sumter National Forest, located at the end of a narrow 2. 2-mile gravel road that may require vehicles to back up if meeting traffic.

The small parking area serves as the primary access point for hikers exploring the Licklog and Pigpen Falls area along Lick Log Creek, with the trailhead at the northwest corner of the lot offering easy family-friendly hiking with minimal elevation change.
