Overview: This is a very family walking trail in Blowing Rock North Carolina. It is part of the Moses Cone Memorial Park Trail system. The hike is about one mile in length but is a beautiful walk around the lake during any season. This hiking trail is a great stretch your legs type of hike after you have been driving in the car all day. Pets are welcomed on this trail but must be on a leash. I would definitely recommend this hike during the fall season for a brisk walk and great picture taking.
Tips:
- Make sure you have comfortable hiking shoes
- You must sign your name to the Grandfather Mountain List for the Ranger
- Bring plenty of water at least 2 bottles and a back pack
