Please email if you are interested in joining the Friends of Bald Mtn Creek Nature Preserve or to otherwise support the property’s environmental stewardship and recreation projects. The site has hosted visitors and volunteers from local schools, community groups, and conservation organizations. This group will provide support for STPAL’s mission related activities at the preserve. In 2020 the Friends of Bald Mountain Creek Nature Preserve was successfully launched. This project will be completed in early 2023. In partnership with the Audubon Society, the USDA, and NC Forestry a project has begun to establish a habitat zone for migratory birds with a specific focus on the threatened Golden Wing Warbler. Upon completion of the 3 phases this site will likely become a regionally significant climbing resource. The boulders are particularly well suited based on their locations, sizes, variety, and mineral composition. To date there have been 6 distinct bouldering areas inventoried with each having at least 50 problems (routes). In partnership with the Carolina Climbers Coalition a 3 phase project has begun to facilitate bouldering and other climbing activities. Ultimately additional trails will be built that are optimized for mountain bike usage. There is about another 4 miles to be restored in 2021. The restoration is for the purposes of improving public hiking use and for stream protection. Immensely popular for its eight miles of groomed cross-country skiing trails and snowmobiling, sledding and ice fishing. In 2020 STPAL invested over $17,000 as a phase 1 the trail system restoration process. This 4,637 acre recreation area has several picnic areas, a modern accessible shooting range, large hunting areas, several fishing lakes, two trout streams, a sandy swimming beach and 15 miles of marked hiking and biking trails. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 25 min to complete.
It is perpetually conserved to remain natural and to have no cost public recreation. Enjoy this 0.6-mile out-and-back trail near Franconia, New Hampshire.
