Hikers will have the opportunity to visit Walnut Creek Preserve, a 2,100-acre private equestrian conservation community located near Lake Lure. Participants will enjoy traversing the maturing forest with numerous streams, as well as open, grassy knolls that offer beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The Preserve is private land and the public is only allowed on the property by invitation, so take advantage of this unique opportunity to enjoy the serenity of this beautiful property.

Conserving Carolina is sponsoring a free, guided hike on SATURDAY this fall, open to the public. Hikers should plan to return to the area in the late afternoon, time varying with group size, distance of hike.
Be sure to wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear. Bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water for yourself. In case of inclement weather, call the Conserving Carolina office, ext. 300, before 8:15 a.m. on the date of the hike, and/or check our Facebook page and calendar. Please also remember to bring any medication that you may need in the event of an emergency (ie: epinephrine, nitroglycerine, insulin, etc.).
