Ritter Park (Hemlock Bluffs and Swift Creek Greenway)
Details
Since Hemlock Bluffs Preserve does not open until 9 a.m., we will meet instead at Harold D. Ritter Park at 8 a.m., 301 West Lochmere Drive, Cary, NC.
Hemlock Bluffs Preserve's main building will be closed this holiday weekend, so there are NO RESTROOM FACILITIES at that park. The restrooms will be open at Ritter Park.
(Thanks, Cyn G, for all of this valuable information!)
