Join us for a Spring Equinox hike at Rocky Fork. We will celebrate the official Vernal Equinox of 2026, the halfway mark between winter and summer. On our hike we will explore cove forest and riparian vegetation. We will discuss the process of the changing season and its impact on the park. Sign up at the park website to reserve your spot! More details can be found at the park website.
This event will be held on the first sunday of every month, with the goal of keeping Rocky Fork's trails and creeks free of litter. Meet Park Ranger Cory Franklin at the Park Ranger Station (280 Jennie Moore Rd.). From there we will go to our cleanup location. Rocky Fork has the cleanest water of any tributary in the Nolichucky River Watershed. With 2,000 acres of park land surrounded by 8,000 acres of National Forest. We aim to keep Rocky Fork pristine and would love to have your help! Gloves and trash bags will be provided but feel free to bring your own supplies. All ages welcome!
