Ashley Ladd Trail, Yadkin Memorial Park
Details
Description and Difficulty: Join ASTA for a new-to-us hike to Yadkinville Memorial Park on the Ashley Ladd Trail! This approximately 6-mile hike is considered easy, with an elevation gain of about 200 feet. The trail winds through trees and goes along the edge of Lake Hampton and to the Dam. We will continue past the Dam to the end of the trail and return the same route. If you prefer a shorter hike, you are welcome to turn around at any time.
Weather: This hike is weather dependent. If the weather forecast turns inclement, we will possibly reschedule the event for a different day and time. If it is questionable, please check back here to the home page before the event to see if conditions have changed, we will try to update event status as timely as practical.
Other Info: You should expect roots, rocks and poor footing in some locations on the trails. To reduce the chance of a fall and for balance, a hiking pole or poles is recommended. Also, please wear shoes with good ankle support and traction. You should bring water, comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and season (example: warm gear in cold weather and rain gear for seasonal hikes is always a good idea), a snack if desired (please pack out any trash), and during bug season a good repellant for mosquitos and ticks may be desired. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome. If you sign up and then can't make it, please remove your name so we don't wait for you.
