| Part of the Frances L. Liles/Loblolly Trails on Google Earth. Recorded by Motion X GPS for the iPhone 4 |
Location: Schenck Forrest (Frances L. Liles/Loblolly Trail)
Date: 3/10/2011
How far we went: 3.23mi
How long it took us: 1:24:24
Elevation reached: 501ft.
Weather: Overcast, chilly, wet/muddy.
A moderate and very plain trail. I guess the actual area is split up between the Carl Schenck Memorial Forest and the NCSU Schenck Forest where the NCSU Forestry/Natural Science students do their labs and outdoor stuff. It's an okay trail, but you'll constantly find yourself bumping up against I-40 and the non-stop sounds of vehicles and the occasional train. The only redeeming part of the trail (in my humble opinion) is the fact you can't bring dogs. Nothing against dog people, it's just nice not having them running all over the place cause you know how some people all letting their animals run wild. However, it is a nice break from Umstead if that is your park of choice. The Loblolly trail actually connects Schenck and Umstead if you feel like walking between the two.
