Come on out and enjoy a beautiful hike with a ranger at New Hope Overlook.  You will be hiking the blue loop trail which is 2.7 miles long.  This is a challenging trail with several steep hills.  Hikers will enjoy sweeping views of the lake, mature hardwood forests, groves of mountain laurel and much much more.  What a great way to start the New Year!  Plan to meet at the trail head near the boat ramps.  Dress for the weather and bring plenty of snacks.  If a birder, don’t forget those binoculars!  Our winter residents will be in their full glory.  No need to register just show up for the hike.  If you would like more information, please contact Ranger Steve McMurray at 919-362-0586 ext. 219 or steve.mcmurray@ncparks.gov.
If 10:00a.m. is a bit chilly for you, come on out to our afternoon hike at Seaforth.  Hope to see you at one of the hikes! 
Happy New Year
