Saturdays at 10am

Meet at the Nature Center and join a Naturalist on a hike through Tryon Creek. Topics will vary week to week and are geared to ages 5 and up, but all ages are welcome.  Parents must accompany kids on all hikes. Groups of 10 or more should contact the park in advance.

6/7 –  Ask A Ranger: This hike has no predetermined topic. It offers attendees a unique opportunity to see the park from a Ranger’s perspective and ask impromptu questions in an informal setting. This is an Access Recreation hike and occurs only on trails and terrain that are less challenging and closer to the Nature Center. This route often includes Old Main Trail, Big Fir Trail, Center Trail, and Maple Ridge Trail. For more information about Access Recreation, please visit: https://www.accessrecreation.org.
