RibbonWalk Nature Preserve
“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” ~John Muir
When: Saturday, October 24 at 9:00 a.m. and Wednesday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m.
What to expect: This easy, two-mile hike along a natural-surface trail will take us through lush, serene woodlands, around ponds, and over boardwalks and a small covered bridge. Fun fact: RibbonWalk derived its name from Queen Charlotte's family's gardens, through which pathways "ribboned" their way though the woods.
Where to meet: RibbonWalk Nature Preserve trailhead is located at 4601 Nevin Rd, Charlotte, NC 28269. The drive is approximately 15 minutes from uptown. Note: Porta-potties are the only restroom facilities; plan accordingly.
What to bring:
A mask to wear as we gather
Comfortable walking shoes
Water and snacks
Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses
Reedy Creek Nature Preserve
“I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.” ~Joyce Kilmer
When: Saturday, November 14 at 9:00 a.m. and Wednesday, November 18 at 5:30 p.m.
Where to meet: The Reedy Creek Nature Preserve is located at 2900 Rocky River Rd., Charlotte, NC 28215. In the park, follow signs in the park for the Nature Center parking lot.
What to expect: This easy, gently undulating, natural-surface loop trail meanders through shaded woods and by creeks and ponds. On this 3-mile hike, we’ll stop at the ruins of the Robinson Rockhouse, believed to have been built in 1790. The trailhead is located by the Nature Center and a natural play and picnic area, a great place to enjoy snacks or a picnic before heading home.
