Dec 4 Upper Lower Haw River State Natural Area

Now a pedestrian bridge

Today I walked the upper portion of the Lower Haw River State Natural Area. This section has a well worn trail from the small park next to the pedestrian bridge. All of this is down river of the Bynum Dam in a an area which appears to have been a textile mill at one time. There are large paved parking areas which probably served as the mill's parking lot. From one of those areas you can cross the bridge which is loaded with graffiti. From another, you can walk alongside the river.

Wisdom or graffiti 

Haw River

I walked about a mile until I ran into Pokeberry Creek. The same creek I was unable to cross coming the other direction. The side get considerably more traffic and the trail was well worn.
