Luther Place to Walker Creek Trailhead
It is the first of 27 days of the Three Rivers Land Trust's Virtual Outdoor Challenge. Our activity today is a 6ish mile hike on the Uwharrie Trail from Luther Place to Walker Creek Trailhead. Walker Creek trailhead has just transferred from private ownership to the US Forest Service. Although the trailhead is not yet open to the public, we are accessing the trail from Luther Place trailhead as an "out and back" hike. It was a rain delayed start at 11am. After a recent wind and rain storm, I'm expecting to find some trees down. There is plenty of stick and branch debris in the trail.
A temporary sign for the new trail will have to suffice until the real ones are ready. This signpost is at the junction of the Luther Spur and the Uwharrie Trail.
The Uwharrie Trailblazer saw crew had their saws singing at the September work day by Walker Creek.
A very unique trail blaze. It's hard to get these things to grow just right.
Walker Creek had some water flowing today. There is a better place to cross in high water, just upstream from the designated crossing.
The very picturesque Biscuit Rocks just downstream from the crossing, are always worth a short detour.
