]]> The forecast for a sunny and cool weekend comes as both good news and bad for the hiker. Good, because who doesn’t like to hike when the air is crisp and dry? Bad, because who doesn’t like to hike when the air is crisp and dry?

The best-known trails get inundated on a sunny weekend day. But there are other equally good trails that somehow fly under the radar.  Maybe they’re new, maybe they’re off the beaten path, maybe there’s simply no good reason they haven’t been discovered.

In this three-guide packet we share three trails that, for whatever reason, are great hikes but tend not to attract crowds. They are:

  1. Mountains-to-Sea Trail at Falls Lake: Day-Hike Section L (Rollingview Access to NC 98), Durham. 3.2 miles (one way)
  2. Butner-Falls Lake Game Lands: Butner Depot, Bahama. 5 miles. 
  3. Cane Creek Mountains Natural Area, Snow Camp. 2.5 miles.

Each guide includes a map, detailed route description and overview, in including trail difficulty, how to find the trailhead, what the experience is like and more.

]]> If you’re looking to escape the crowds flocking to the trails — be it in fall for the color, in spring for the wildflowers or even in winter and summer — you’ll find miles of hiking in the Butner-Falls of Neuse Game Land along Falls Lake north of Raleigh. Our guide highlights a 5-mile hike on a portion of the 40,000-acre wild area near the Butner Depot.
