SUMMARY:Celebrate N.C. State Trails: Hike the Haw River Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Haw River Trail corridor runs 80 miles\, from just north of Greensboro southeast to its conclusion in Jordan Lake. It’s boulder-strewn waters give the impression of a mountain river while its flora-choked banks are almost junglelike in spots. It’s perhaps the wildest experience to be had in the Piedmont. \nJoin the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Hometown Strong initiative for a celebration of the Haw by both land and water on July 6 in Saxapahaw. The day begins with a paddle on a dammed portion of the Haw\, known as Lake Saxapahaw\, from 1-3 p.m.\, followed by this 3-mile hike from 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nThe hike will begin just outside the Haw River Ballroom. We will hike the Haw River Trail 1.5 miles downstream on surprisingly smooth trail that defies the rocky river on your right\, the lush wall of green on your left (save for a short stretch near the turnaround that passes a meadow). \nThis is an easy hike that’s dog-friendly (leashed-dog friendly). We will take a mellow pace\, stopping to check out the Haw along the way. After the hike\, stick around for Saturdays in Saxapahaw\, live outdoor music from 6-8 p.m. \nFor more information and to sign up for this free event\, go here.

DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to invite you to join G5 and the Trails & Trains Festival!  Together\, we’ll clear out the final rhododenderons and begin clearing the way for the new Rostan re-route. \nWhy re-route Rostan?

It’s a beautiful setion of forest and it’s not every day that you’re able to volunteer on a project with the designer and builder themself! \nDifficulty rating: 3/5:  up to 1 mile hike each direction on steep trail\, use of pruners\, digging tools and rakes \n*Be sure to bring your favorite gear\, plenty of snacks and water\, high tops (boots preferred)\, eye protection\, long pants\, leather gloves and whatever else you need to stay comfortable for a great 4+ hour day in the mountains

SUMMARY:NC Trail Days in Elkin
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Trail Days in Elkin celebrates the many outdoor recreation opportunities found in small towns throughout the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. \nAt the junction of three state trails\, Elkin is a true trails town. NC Trail Days has grown to a four-day event\, aligning with National Trails Day on the first Saturday of June and including neighboring Jonesville\, just across the Yadkin River. \nMuch of Elkin’s resurgence as an eclectic town has to do with its trails and the healthy outlets they provide. \nOrganized and self-guided hikes take place throughout the weekend on area trails with attention to local features and themes\, such as waterfalls and birdwatching\, moonshine still discoveries and plein air painting. \nNew this year is a through-hike and paddle along segment six of the North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Other activities include rock climbing at Pilot Mountain State Park\, exploring stretches of the Yadkin River while cleaning it up\, and trout fishing and cycling specifically for kids. Community leaders give educational talks\, and a host of regional gear and arts vendors showcase their wares. Live music\, as well as local wine\, beer and food\, round out the festivities. \nAccommodation options include hotels\, vacation rentals and bed-and-breakfasts\, as well as a variety of camping opportunities.
