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. . John Muir didn’t like the word ‘hike’. “We ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.”
Please bring happy thoughts and your good humor to enjoy this venue and leave drama and serious matters for another time. Thanks.
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. Bob owner/manager 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. Hope you can make it.
