Overview

A great tour of the trails at the Ledge Creek Forest Conservation Area.

Description

Tar River Land Conservancy (TRLC) opened 3 miles of hiking trails at the Ledge Creek Forest Conservation Area in Granville County, with a parking area and trailhead, located at 3189 Brogden Road near Stem. The trails lead past fields being restored to forest and wildflower meadows, older woodland being managed for wildlife habitat, and hardwood forest found on the slopes above Ledge Creek. Picnic tables are available for visitors near the parking area.
