City of King issued the following announcement on Sept. 5.
We're continuing our monthly hikes from 2021! If you've always wanted to get out there, but don't know where to go/don't want to go alone, this is the program for you!! No need to travel far to enjoy the outdoors - let's appreciate the beauty of our backyard! REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. https://kingnc.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail...
On September 10, we will be exploring Hanging Rock State Park - we'll hike the Indian Creek Trail, a 3ish mile (one-way) out and back trail rated strenuous that visits two gorgeous waterfalls! We will determine our hiking distance the day of based on group vote.
After the hike, stick around and check out local wares at the Hanging Rock Farmer's Market!
TWO OPTIONS FOR MEETING UP:
Parks and Recreation Director, Olivia Calloway, will be leading the meetup hike.
1) Meet in front of Everyone's Playground at Rec Acres 45 minutes prior to hike time and caravan (follow in your own car) to the trailhead. Perfect if you don't know where you're going!
2) Meet at the trailhead. Enter the Visitor Center lot and drive all the way to the end. The Indian Creek trailhead is straight ahead.
Email ocalloway@ci.king.nc.us with questions. PLEASE NOTE: If you have not registered and choose to meet us at the trailhead, we may begin hiking without you without knowing you're planning to join us. PLEASE REGISTER so we know to look for you!
