UPPER POND CREEK TRAIL

This trail is a very easy 1.0 mile hike.  This is actually Beech Mountain's favorite hiking trail.  Built in the late 1960's, this trail was constructed so people in Charter Hills could walk to the recreation area.

                                                                  

Whether you are our for a little exercise or an enjoyable walk along a creek, this trial will take you through beautiful woods.  From its starting point at Perry Park, the trail travels one mile through Charter Hills to Lake Coffey.

 

Once you arive at Lake Coffey, you can continue down the Lower Pond Creek Trail section, which is also a one-mile hike.  At Lake Coffey you can enjoy fishing (a NC Fishing License and trout stamp are required) or walking around the lake on its quarter mile paved trail.

Upper Pond Creek Trail has been designated as a nature trail.  Be sure to pick up a guide at the bottom of the stairs at the trailhead.  Fifteen different stations are located along the trail with interesting information about creek life, trees, animals and wildflowers.  Each season brings change to the trail.
