Hike: Sope Creek (Paper Mill Entrance)
Details
Note date change due to biker direction
This is a beginner/moderate morning hike at Sope Creek. We will explore some of the sites (ruins, cemetery)... This hike is suitable for beginners that can walk 5 miles. Terrain is mostly flat but expect 2.5 miles per hour. We will meet at Sope Creek Elementary School (free parking) as parking at Sope Creek is very limited. So I have added additional time for this.
Join me on this hike at the Sope Creek section of Cochran Shoals where we will hike about 5+ miles. There are some nice and well-marked trails in this unit and during our hike one of the trails might lead us to the mill ruins. Hiking along the periphery of the unit treats us to views of the river and also the mill ruins on the opposite side which should be visible now.
Most of the hike is along flatter trails, but we might encounter a hill or two (or maybe three) to make this a wholesome workout. We will take few breaks along the way.
Prefer NO DOGS or you can walk behind as long as dog lease does not interfere with any hikers.
There are no bathrooms at this facility.
