Raven Rock State Park Hike
Pack 216 Scouts, families and siblings are invited to join Cubmaster Glass on Saturday, May 7th for a hike at Raven Rock State Park in Lillington, NC.
This is about an hour drive south from Cary and is a very nice trip for the family. It’s a scenic hike down to the Cape Fear River with a memorable view of the rock cliffs from which the park derives its name, so you’ll want a camera.
Please meet at the Raven Rock Road parking lot (3009 Raven Rock Road, Lillington, NC 27546) at 10:30am to begin the hike. We’ll plan to do the 2.6 mile Raven Rock Loop with easy additions of the American Beech Trail and an out and back on the Fish Traps trail, so it’ll be about 4 miles total.
As usual, bring water, sunscreen and good hiking shoes. Class B uniforms for Scouts, please!
Should be about 3-4 hours to complete this hike, so let’s all bring a backpack with lunch or snacks and we can stop at noonish on the trail to eat. On the way back, I highly recommend caravanning together on a route through Angier, NC and stopping at Sunni Sky’s Homemade Ice Cream (cash only!). If you’ve not been, you’ll thank me later. If you’ve been, you know…….
