Itinerary:
Let's get out and get our hike on. It will be a fairly easy hike but done at a moderate pace. Beginners are definitely welcome. There will be no mountain climbing and the terrain is fairly level and not too challenging. 

We'll meet at the parking lot off of Burnt Hickory. There is limited parking so I've chosen a time where hopefully the parking demand is low but give yourself time in case you have to wait a few minutes for someone to leave. I'm also keeping the group on the small side because of the limited parking.

We will start on the west loop towards the water and we will have a nice stroll along the water, then across the bridge and back in the woods making our way towards Dallas Highway. When we get to the road, we'll turn around and take the fire trail back towards Burnt Hickory crossing over the same bridge again.












Recommended Items to Bring:

Snack
Rain gear (just in case)
