5-6 Mile Gorge Hike
Led by NCSL. Challenge yourself with this difficult hike, which spans Doan Brook between the Nature Center and the Graffiti Dam just north and west of MLK Blvd. After going around Lower Lake and crossing Coventry Rd, we will follow the trails closest to Doan Brook, passing many historical points along the way. Hikers will climb small hills, negotiate tree roots, loose rocks, and low-hanging branches, so good hiking boots, hiking poles, and above all, good balance are recommended! Explore this beautiful trail, where you can hardly believe that heavily traveled roads are only a few dozen feet away. Approximate time: 2 1/2 – 3 hours, varied terrain. 4-6 miles. Difficulty: strenuous. Not recommended for children under 10. Children 10 to 12 years old are $20.

Hikers will navigate about 1 mile of winding, uneven, unimproved paths, and low-hanging branches during this short, but moderate hike. Approximate time: 1 1/2 hours, varied terrain. 1-2 miles. Difficulty: moderate. Due to terrain, best for ages 10+. Children 10 to 12 years old are $20.
