First Day Outdoors at Haw River State Park – Great Blue Heron Loop Trail
January 1 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Kick Off 2025 in the Great Outdoors!
Join Dr. Ken Bridle from Piedmont Land Conservancy on January 1st, 2025, for an inspiring hike along the Great Blue Heron Loop Trail at Haw River State Park, just north of Greensboro.
This 3.75-mile trek is perfect for those looking to reconnect with nature in the new year. The trail winds through serene woodlands, offering smooth, natural surfaces and gentle climbs. Along the way, Dr. Bridle will share his deep knowledge of the natural world, highlighting unique features and points of interest.
We’ll begin at the Iron Ore Belt Access located at 6068 N Church Street, Greensboro, NC 27455, and follow the scenic loop. The hike is expected to take around 4 hours, giving plenty of time to explore, ask questions, and soak in the surroundings.
This free event is open to everyone, but space is limited to 20 participants—reserve your spot early to ensure you don’t miss out!
Step into the new year with curiosity, learning, and a deeper connection to nature. We hope to see you on the trail!
