Take an easy 5-mile hike along Lakeshore Trail at Fontana Dam Thursday, Feb. 22, with the Partners of Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness. 

The group will meet at the Fontana Dam Visitor Center Parking Area at 10 a.m., and then hike across the dam and onto the trail. The excursion will explore some of the old homesteads that were abandoned when the dam was built.

Hikers should wear hiking shoes and bring water and snacks. Contact Cindy Mease at 919.624.8850 with questions.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
