Event Details

Join us for a fall colors hike at Rocky Fork! On our hike we will see photosynthesis in action, observe the splendor of changing leaves, the beauty of cove mountain forest, wild cascades and mountain views. We will take our time hiking up to White Oak Flats overlook where we will observe distant mountain peaks. This hike is free, although donations are accepted and will help support continued trail maintenance and interpretive programing.

Well behaved dogs are allowed on a leash.

This is a moderate 3-mile hike, please wear closed-toed shoes and bring water.
