Come join us on a 4.2-mile hike at the beautiful Joesph E. Ibberson Conservation Area! Meet at the pavilion next to the parking lot at 10am. The hike will begin promptly at 10:10am. This 4.2 mile hike is considered moderate and will have an accumulated elevation gain of about 950 feet. This is a great opportunity to socialize and enjoy nature!

The 803-acre Joseph E. Ibberson Conservation Area is dominated by large hardwood trees and straddles Peters Mountain. This large block of nearly unbroken forest is a haven for wildlife like forest warblers and other deep woods animals. The main attraction to the conservation area is the elaborate trail system that connects to the Appalachian Trail on the northern slope of Peters Mountain.
