Waxhaw, NC 28173 Check-in time for event 08:30 am Brief Trail Description The hike both days will be up the Flower Trail to the Eagle Loop, up and back the Box Turtle Trail and back on the Flower Trail. This hike will begin at 9:00 am both days starting at the Main Park Office. If there is interest in a day hike, we can add 1-mile up and back on the Fox Squirrel Loop.

Located in Union County south of Charlotte and close to the South Carolina border, Cane Creek Park is a 1,050-acre, family-friendly recreation area centered around a 350-acre lake, offering a scenic setting for outdoor activities and relaxation year-round. The park also features picnic areas, shelters and event spaces, as well as multiple camping options. The trails are easy to moderate with < 300 ft of elevation gain. There are lake views on a significant portion of the trail. The trails are well-marked, well-maintained packed dirt. I have selected a route that is safe, with beautiful views, moderate elevation change, and plenty of opportunities for rest periods. There are 4 road crossings for emergency exit points and two first aid stations along the path.
