ON-SITE INTEREST:
We are offering a half mile
round trip, marked, hiking trail on Napaw Mountain. (Not open during hunting season, Oct 11-Jan 1)The trail head starts at the cabin by the picnic table.(walking sticks are provided there by the tree for you) Just follow the orange triangle markers down to the Middle Saluda River. There, you can fish for native trout or cool off in the river that borders 1500’ of our private land. Or you may just want to sit and enjoy the outdoors while watching the river flow. The kids love the fun creek to play in there too.
*note-during the hot, dry summer months, the river may be low. During the late fall, winter, and spring months, it will probably be high. Use your own judgement concerning getting in the river.
On your way to and from the river, you’ll pass the rustic treehouse. Feel free to stop, sit, rest, and watch the birds and wildlife.
This hiking trail is a skill set mix of easy, moderate to strenuous (a good work out for a little stretch hiking back up)
