Umstead State Park Hike

Umstead State Park, Company Mill Trial
Enter Harrison Avenue and meet in the parking lot on the LEFT side.
Siblings are welcome.
Other Details
Class B Uniform
Bring a water bottle and snack.
Recommended good hiking shoes, closed-toed and please apply sunscreen as needed.
We will leave the bathroom area at the parking lot (Reedy Creek entrance) as a group and hike on Company Mill Trail to the Mill Stone and then back, taking a detour on Inspirational Trail. This entire hike should take 1-2 hours, depending on how long we hang out at the Company Mill site.
This activity qualifies for the Cub Scout National Summertime Pack Activity Award. This award is earned by scouts who take part in a Pack activity in each month during the summer (Jun, July, Aug). For our Pack, that was the Durham Bulls game, Scouting for Food, and THIS HIKE. Also, council summer/day camps qualify.
