SUMMARY:Gabriel's Bend Overlook Hike
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Lower Haw is offering another outing in its “Take a Walk on the Wild Side” hiking series in the Lower Haw River State Natural Area\, this time with a Gabriel’s Bend Overlook Hike on Fri\, May 8\, 6pm-7pm.

The trail climbs this cliff to a unique overlook surveying more than a mile of the river!  \nPlease be aware that this hike involves plenty of rock scrambling\, uneven ground on informal trails\, and the risk of poison ivy\, ticks\, and mosquitoes. Sturdy shoes\, bug spray\, and water are recommended! Friendly dogs on leash are welcome but may struggle with the terrain. Anyone up for a somewhat challenging but highly rewarding hike is welcome – no pre-registration required! Contact lowerhawevents@gmail.com for questions or to RSVP.

SUMMARY:Trails and Treats
DESCRIPTION:Join Chatham Community Library and Friends of the Lower Haw for Trails and Treats on Sat\, May 2\, 10am-11am. Trails and Treats is the first statewide trail guide written by women in NC\, combining two favorite activities – hiking and trail running – with tasty treats that can top off your outdoor adventures. Authors Hollis Oberlies and Palmer McIntyre created this guidebook for people of all ages and abilities who want to plan a fun day exploring our state. They have selected hikes and runs in four general areas of the state – the mountains\, the Triad\, the Triangle\, and the Charlotte area. Often\, there is a trail near your home that will bring joy and gratitude\, and a workout if that’s your goal. The authors have included trail tips to help you plan your adventures\, as well as recommendations for some tasty local places to eat. Their book also includes some of their favorite breakfast and trail snack recipes that are easy to whip up\, tasty\, and nourishing. The authors hope this guide inspires you to try these trails and eats\, and to explore others throughout North Carolina or wherever you go! \nBecause 2026 is the 20th Anniversary of the Haw River Trail\, this event will include a brief presentation by Friends of Lower Haw River about the Haw River State Trail and Chatham County’s local gem\, the Lower Haw River State Natural Area. Friends of Lower Haw River is a member of the trail organizations Friends of Haw River State Trail and the Great Trails State Coalition. The event is free and open to the public.
