When we think about Beech Mountain we usually think about families and being able to do things together. What better way to enjoy a family outing than to hike one of the mountains many trails.
A favorite trail for most everyone is Upper Pond Creek, which follows a creek and is easily accessible to everyone. Pond Creek is a Nature Trail complete with interesting stations marked along its one mile course through Charter Hills.
An easy walk for young folks, it begins at Tamarack Road and ends at Lake Coffey. Be sure to pick up a guide for this trail at either end and it will help make your hike special with your kids.
Other trails we recommend, especially for young folks hiking with the family include, Wild Iris Loop and Smoketree Trail and Sassafras Trail (new Summer '09)
When planning hikes with your family, always think about distance, difficulty and proper clothing for all those going along.
