Easy 4-mile Hike & Picnic at McDowell Nature Preserve

This event is more about just getting outside and socializing. We'll combine several short trails for about 4 miles total, stopping to picnic somewhere along the way.

Think the easiest place to meet would be the McDowell Nature Center:
15222 York Rd, Charlotte, NC 28278
Coordinates: 35.100754, -81.019842

This will be my first time to McDowell Nature Preserve so am looking forward to exploring some new to me scenery.

Don't want to plan anything elaborate for picnicking, just bring what you want to eat, and we'll find a spot to relax.

Hope to see you there!
