Join Park Greer, SAHC’s Preserve Manager and Erin Goodpaster, SAHC Outreach Program Manager for an untraditional hike as we explore the aquatic environments of the Beaver Creek Watershed on SAHC’s South Yellow Mountain Preserve near Spruce Pine, NC. The trek begins with a short safety and ecological talk before heading up the creek. Along the way participants have the opportunity to relax by calming waterfalls, search for and learn about critters, or just enjoy the sights and sounds of the wilderness!

The path up the creek is undeveloped and most walking between stopping points will be on game trails and will involve minor scrambling, requiring the use of hands. The walk back to the parking area will be on a gravel road.

Please come prepared with plenty of water, snacks, lunch, hiking gear that can get wet, and a good attitude.
