FAMILY
HIKING
When we think about Beech Mountain we usually think about families and
being able to do things together. What better way to enjoy a family outing
than to hike one of the mountains many trails.
A favorite trail for most everyone is Upper Pond Creek, which follows a
creek and is easily accessible to everyone. Pond Creek is a Nature Trail
complete with interesting stations marked along its one mile course
through Charter Hills.
An easy walk for young folks, it begins at Tamarack Road and ends at Lake
Coffey. Be sure to pick up a guide for this trail at either end and it
will help make your hike special with your kids.
Other trails
we recommend, especially for young folks hiking with the family
include, Wild Iris Loop and Smoketree Trail.
When planning hikes
with your family, always think about distance, difficulty and proper
clothing for all those going along. |
