**FYI......Dogs not allowed unless you have a permit from the Beaver Lake Homeowners Association that governs the area. Please Google for the info**. Meet 10 AM at the trail head area Monday June 1 2026
1056 Merrimon Ave · Asheville, NC . Perimeter Trail Loop. Check out this 2 mile loop trail near **Asheville,** North Carolina. Generally considered an easy flat route. This is a walk and not a hike so we will be stopping to take in the sites. Participants are encouraged to point out interesting sightings. This is a very popular area for birding, fishing, and paddle sports, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. Possibly you’ll see hawks, osprey, herons, vultures, kites, sparrows, woodpeckers, ducks, wrens, swallows, warblers, and bluebirds. *There are a lot of bird species here according to some travel sites. .*

Bathrooms not there but businesses nearby up the road. Library closed on Mondays so if the lot is full park up there and join us. Again supposed to be an easy 2 mile walk around Beaver Lake. Look for RFAR signs and T-shirt. Bring water and of course wear comfortable shoes. Option for lunch nearby at Rye Knot Brewery and Distillery ryeknot.com 868 Merrimon Ave afterwards. There is out door covered seating and the manager Bob said ok for us to bring in own food at outdoor area .He said can give us a 15 minute tour Brewery/Distillery if we want. Also they upon request can fry your food in vegetable oil as they use beef tallow too. Also there is a picnic table at the side of the north parking lot of the trail head if you want that option. Hope you can make it. Ben bbsdob525@aol.com phone 561 425-3077
