Hiking Details:

Friday May 16th

We will hike the Hickory Riverwalk Trail, a 2.3-mile out-and-back hike. The trail is paved, with a few slight inclines and is rated as easy. For those who want to go a little further, the Broyhill Greenway intersects with the Riverwalk Trail and it is 3-miles long. Wear good walking shoes and bring an ample supply of water. Much of the hike is in the open, and we will be hiking at midday, so a hat might come in handy. If hiking sticks help your stability, bring them. We always use our sunscreen and you can toss in your bug spray just in case. Bring any medications you may need during the trip.

Please read the “Important Information” included on the website.
