Itinerary:

We are taking it easy on this hike at Vickery Creek. We will hike about 4.5 to 5 miles on this hike. 

We will start off on the gravel path and enter the park, we will hike trails that lead us to the dam. We will then return to the trail and take complete a loop to get back to our cars. 

While this is a D2, there are a few rolling hills that we will come across. I recommend carrying poles as roots along the trail can sometimes be tricky. 

We are starting at the oxbo road parking lot. There is no parking fee here.


Required Items to Bring:

Appropriate clothing for the weather

Good hiking shoes
