Celebrate the N.C. Year of the Trail with Fall Equinox Trail Walk on the Hatcher Creek Greenway on Sept. 20. We'll meet at the Morrisville Community Park shelter, 1520 Morrisville Parkway, at 5:30 p.m. The walk will start with an activity for the first 30 people. In recognition of the shift from the longer daylight hours of summer to the longer hours of darkness for the winter, we'll build a solar-powered mason jar lantern. Then we'll head out for a guided walk on the Hatcher Creek Greenway. The walk will be a mile out and back, for two miles total. Those who prefer a shorter walk can use the half-mile markers to plan a round-trip hike of one mile. The Hatcher Creek Greenway is paved and level, and it is considered an "easy" walk. The greenway is appropriate for strollers, wagons, and other wheeled equipment. This walk presents a great opportunity to explore a local greenway!

The 2023 N.C. Year of the Trail celebrates North Carolina's vast network of trails, greenways, and blueways, which showcase our diverse landscapes – grand mountain vistas, quiet rivers, vibrant urban greenways, coastal forests, and the rolling hills of the piedmont. N.C. Year of the Trail is the largest statewide celebration of trails and outdoor recreation in North Carolina history.
