National Trails Day - 2 States 1 Trail

Join me in celebrating National Trails Day by hiking a trail that spans two states!

The temps on the latter morning of June 6 will most likely be upper 70s, and mostly sunny. We’ll have lots of shade along 12 mile creek. (Don’t worry the plan is to hike 4 miles NOT 12). Please note that this will be a linear trail so we will do a short car shuttle.

The Cross-State Bridge on Twelve Mile Creek connects Waxhaw NC to Lancaster SC. This is considered an easy 4 mile long hike. It is a mostly natural surface single track trail that winds up and down along the creek. There are sections with great views of the creek from the upper bluff. We will stop at the impressive 170-foot-long suspension bridge for pictures.

We leave most cars at HC Nesbit Park, pack people in as few cars as possible, then I’ll lead a 10 minute shuttle to the beginning of hike. (I'll provide address too.) There are restrooms we can use before starting the hike. At the end of the hike someone will drive me, and anyone else who needs back to their cars.

Bring water and wear good hiking shoes. You can use hiking poles if you like. NO dogs on this hike due to shuttle.

With attending this event you agree to participate at your own risk and Charlotte Piedmont Hiking Club and its leaders will not be liable for any injuries or mishaps.
