Morgan Creek Preserve is a beautiful area right in our "backyard". Part of the trail runs along Morgan Creek and the other part over-looks a pasture filled with green grass and trees in the distance. We will hike all the way to NC Botanical Garden and then back, approximately in 3.5 hours (about 7-8 miles). Trail might be muddy and slippery after rain. Hiking boots are highly recommended. Bring water, lunch or snack.

Note: we have to cross over several pine lines! Not everyone feels comfortable crossing them. Please check previous event before signing up: http://hiking.meetup....

Direction:
Meet at the parking lot right across street from Merritts Store & Grill

Who attended?

  • 7 attendees
    •  The water level in the creek was the lowest I'd seen so far. I sure hope it rains! 
    •  Nice place to hike. Watch out for poison ivy! 
    •  This was a great hike! The trail was a little undeveloped at the start, but overall a nice way to spend a Sunday mid-day. We hit a nice strenuous hill just before the halfway mark so I felt like I got a nice hike in without overdoing it. 
    •  Ching is a great leader. She really knew the trail. The trail itself leaves something to be desired.
