Take a Guided Hike Through Nags Head Woods
One of the most unusual outdoor places to visit on the Outer Banks is the Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve. I've blogged about it before, and you can find more information on the park at www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/northcarolina/preserves/art5618.html. The 1,000 plus acres of forested dunes, active dunes, marshes, ponds and wetlands is home to a wide array of plant and animal life. You can take a walk through the preserve's trails on your own, or you can sign up for a guided two-mile hike with the Nature Conservancy. The guided hikes are available on Tuesday mornings from now until August 11. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children 3-12. Space is limited, so call ahead to make a reservation at 252-441-2525 or e-mail jgilbreath@tnc.org.
