Father’s Day Hiking

For Father’s Day, we decided to get out and go for a hike. My son used to love being in the child carrier when we’d go hiking at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens so we decided to give my daughter a go at it. We went to Raven Rock State Park, which s about 45 minutes from us. She loved it and we all had a great time.

Hiking at Harris Lake

Exploring Harris Lake

There’s a county park a few miles from our home called Harris Lake.  It’s actually home of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant, which is run by Duke Energy. We decided to go for a hike, even if just to get out of the house for a bit.  The 680-acre park is situated on a peninsula near the Shearon Harris Reservoir in New Hill, N.C. – and is convenient to Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina. In addition to hiking trails, there’s a lake for fishing and skiing (or just boating), bike trails (such as the Hog Run Mountain Bike Trail) and a disc golf course.
