Hike With a Naturalist - YCC Loop Trail

Join the JSU Field School the 1st Friday and 3rd Saturday of every month in 2025 for a guided hike. We’ll discuss the plants, animals, and natural history of the area as we hike the trails.

The hike on the YCC Loop Trail will take us through the beautiful, wooded hills of Little River's backcountry. Please wear footwear suitable for hiking. Bring water, sun protection and possibly a snack.
