Name: Hike at Pettigrew State Park
Start: 2016-08-14T10:00:00-04:00
End: 2016-08-14T13:00:00-04:00
Location: Pettigrew State Park

Join us for a hike at Pettigrew State Park. At the center of this park is Lake Phelps, the second largest natural lake in North Carolina. This area has a gridwork of historic canals extending from the lake, which are used for irrigation of crops at surrounding farms. We will be hiking along the Moccasin trail which follows the shoreline of Lake Phelps to the Moccasin Canal. Our hike will be about 6 miles round trip, traveling through hardwood forest and cypress swamp. The trail surface is a mixture of dirt, grass, and boardwalks.

As always, this hike will be no drop. We encourage everyone to dress for the weather (sun shirt or rain jacket if needed) and to pack lots of water and maybe a few snacks.

Be sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of bug spray. Most of the area around the lake is swampy, so there will be bugs this time of year!

Due to scheduling conflicts, we have changed the date to Sunday August 14. We hope everyone is still able to make it!
