Explore Duke Forest!

This event is for adult women only.

Let’s walk Big Bend loop via the concrete bridge in the Korstian Division of Duke Forest. The first part of the hike is an easy walk on a gravel road. The second part of the hike is a narrow footpath along New Hope Creek. It is beautiful scenery and at points difficult hiking. It is a narrow path with roots, rocks, slippery spots, and rock scrambling. Please know your own abilities. Because the trail is very close to the water and slippery at spots, we will adjust the route if it has recently rained. The hike should take less than 2 hours.

The hike starts at Gate 23 to Duke Forest off Mount Sinai Road in Chapel Hill. There is a small parking lot for about 8 cars adjacent to the road. The closest house to the parking area is 4416 Mt Sinai Rd, Durham. There is only one small sign indicating gate 23. There are no restrooms or other facilities available. Look for my bright blue car. Hiking boots are suggested; sturdy running or walking shoes will suffice. You may wish to bring water. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome on the hike.

I tend to walk in all types of weather, so I trust you to keep an eye on the weather forecast and make sure you are comfortable with the expected weather conditions.

Please be on time or you might be left behind! I wait only 5 minutes beyond the scheduled time before I start the walk.

Please update your RSVP if your plans change -- don't be a no-show!
