Second Saturday at Mayo River Trails - Redbud Trail Hike

Join us every second Saturday at the Mayo River Trails to explore the future Mayo River State Park. You will also discover some interesting facts about local wildlife, and about the exploration of the area by William Byrd. We will alternate monthly between the Redbud Trail and the Mayo River Trail, so hiking times will vary. The Redbud Trail is approximately two miles long. The Mayo River Trail, plus Byrd's Loop, is approximately four miles long.
