Isn’t Nature awesome! The Spring Walk in Nature is a new initiative sponsored by ICCT’s Earth Friendly Practice action team. Imagine immersing yourself in the wonders of Umstead Park on a Sunday afternoon with like minded friends and lovers of creation.

Walks in nature will be offered each quarter with the simple goal of getting together to enjoy the gift of creation. While this first walk simply aims to encourage participants to slow down and take the time to experience the park through all five senses, hopes are to explore themed walks in the future, like forest bathing, and garden walks.

For our initial walk together at Umstead Park, let’s meet at the first parking lot through the Harrison Avenue Entrance Gate (see the map below). From here we will have direct access to restrooms, benches, pavilions, and these trails:

Trail Name Blaze Length Difficulty Trail Use Accessible
Company Mill Trail orange squares 5.8-mile loop Moderate Hiking only No
Inspiration Trail blue diamonds 0.4-mile loop Easy Hiking only No
Loblolly Trail blue squares 2.7-mile one way Moderate Hiking only No
