Bent Creek Toddler Ramble, Hardtimes Trailhead group hike

We will meet at the Hard Times Trailhead and follow the forest service road towards Lake Powhatan. It is mostly flat and easy enough for little walkers. This is a toddler-led hike, and also stroller-friendly. Although there is a 2(ish) mile loop, we will most likely do an out and back–depends on the kiddos.

Take 191 South from Asheville. Turn right on Bent Creek Ranch Rd (follow the signs to Bent Creek) and then a slight left on Wesley Branch. The trailhead is on the left.

Come on out and let your wee ones play in the woods!
