OLLI: Hike Lake Wilson

OLLI has offered hikes for years, often featuring dramatic vistas of places far afield. But there are many trails closer to home providing opportunities to clear the mind and refresh the spirit with winter and spring air. Join OLLI on early Spring Mondays to explore nearby scenic sites and their trails. All hikes are moderate in effort and require no special equipment, just a sturdy pair of walking shoes.




Lake Wilson: ~ 3 miles, moderate terrain, 150 feet of elevation gain. Once part of Fayetteville’s water supply, and now a City Park, although not within the city, Lake Wilson offers trails, streams, a lake, water fowl, perhaps some beavers, and low level bluffs just minutes from the campus.




Participants will meet at Sam’s Club near the car wash at 8:30 a.m. each Monday morning. Bring brown bag lunch, water, bug spray, hat, and sun glasses.
