South Fork Rail Trail - 4 miles leisure hike

This trail follows an old railroad corridor and leads past an old laboratory and abandoned mill ruins. It's part of the Paul and Agnes Rhyne Conservation Preserve near Lincolnton.

The trail is natural surface and flat as it follows the South Fork Catawba River.

Parking is limited so please consider carpooling.

There are several good restaurant choices (and brewery) in Lincolnton. If anyone is interested, we can go to the downtown area after the hike and have a bite to eat.

Here is a link that does a great job describing the trail:
