Celebrating the Year of the Trail!
Click here and watch the video about North Carolina, the Great Trail State.
2023 was the NC Year of the Trail, it was a landmark year for North Carolina to celebrate, promote, and highlight trails across our beautiful state, and firmly establish North Carolina as The Great Trails State. The campaign showcased North Carolina’s thousands of miles of trails that are deeply woven into our history and our culture.
The campaign was hosted by the Great Trails State Coalition, a broad-based coalition supporting all types of trails across North Carolina.
Pender County Tourism was the host of our many family-fun hikes/walks as we joined the State of North Carolina to celebrate the Year of the Trail.
Pender County joined in celebrating trails with community-based family hikes conducted once per month. Each walk featured a different portion or part of our county.
No matter what your style, North Carolina offers trails for all. From accessible greenways to thrilling peaks and anything in between, every trail and every trail experience brings movement, health, and happiness. Embrace the outdoors in The Great Trails State!
