9am Wed 5/13 Explore Old Reedy Crk to Crabtree Marina and beyond!

Lets meet Wednesday for a fun morning hike! Meeting 9:00am at the greenway kiosk sign to the right of the parking lot entrance.

We'll start from the Black Creek Greenway trailhead at Old Reedy Creek, go to the right around the lake on the natural trails all the way to the Lake Crabtree Marina, then come back past the Old Reedy Creek trailhead and over the bridge into Umstead tocheck out the new hike/bike trail on the left of the MUT before turning around ang making our way back to the Reedy Creek Trailhead.

(I haven't hiked the new trail, so it will be new to us all!)

The hike length will be at least 6 miles, with additional unknown length from the new trail we'll explore - but we'll keep it less than 10 miles. This hike uses the paved greenway and woods trails, and is pretty flat.

NOTE: If the natural lake trail is closed due to wetness or construction, we'll hike the paved greenway side instead, and then hike over the bridge into Umstead and the new trail. .

Bring snacks and water, dress appropriately, etc. Will be hiking around 3-3.25 mi per hour.

(Hiking pace is important for timing - to estimate return to the trailhead - and to provide the level of exercise you're looking for. To figure out your current pace, see my Hiking Tips page: https://idratherwalk.com/hiking-tips-beginners/

No small children please, but well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. Allow up to 2-2.5 hours for the entire hike, so back by 11:30am-12 noon, no later than noon for sure.

If for any reason I need to cancel, I will do that by 8:30am. If you would like to read more about this and other local hikes, check out my blog at https://Idratherwalk.com.
