Check out this hike!

Did you know that thanks to Three Rivers, 4 of the 5 gaps on the Uwharrie Trail have been purchased and transferred to the US Forest Service? Or that our 4 day/3 night thru hike provides hikers with snacks and drinks at multiple rest stops each day, water at each campsite, a thru-hike t-shirt, and an awesome cookout celebration on the last night of the hike??

Most importantly, by participating in our Uwharrie Trail Thru Hike, participants help raise awareness about this incredible trail, and support local conservation so that TRLT can continue to conserve land for public access.

Register for our Spring and Fall Thru Hikes today for a great opportunity to experience the Uwharries! Only a limited number of hikers can register, so sign up today!
