Join us as we dedicate 15 miles of the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail from Pleasant Green Rd to Penny's Bend along the peaceful banks of the Eno River in Durham and Orange Counties. This scenic segment of MST connects with the Falls Lake Trail to provide Triangle residents & visitors with 75 miles of natural footpath, a wonderful addition to the community.
Our short ceremony (1:00-1:30) will thank the many volunteers, community leaders, businesses and organizations who worked together to complete this section of the MST. Snacks & beverages will be provided.
After the ceremony, join us for a guided hike on the trail. You can hike a short distance on the MST right at West Point on the Eno or enjoy a longer guided hike instead. We'll have shuttle buses to take you to either Guess Rd (1.9 mile hike back) or Penny's Bend (4.9 mile hike back) so you can hike the MST with experienced guides.
If you're not up for hiking, just hang out at West Point on the Eno with us, learn more about the MST and the Eno River while enjoying some live music and what we hope will be a beautiful afternoon by the river. Help us mark this momentous occasion with your presence.
Many thanks to our community business partners who have helped to underwrite the cost of this event:
