The BLK Women's Hike is for Black Women only. We will enjoy a hike while building community through dialogue about the varying experiences of Black women.

The Lake Johnson Trail includes a 3.5-mile paved greenway loop as well as a 1.9-mile unpaved loop plus another 1.0 mile of out and backs to scenic lake overlooks. Part of the paved loop includes a section of Walnut Creek Greenway Trail. The paved portion goes through the woods, along the lake, and across the dam.

The unpaved portion, a bit less traveled, goes to the headwaters of the lake. Both can cross the boardwalk across the lake to complete a figure 8 if you want. The trail has flat sections, hilly sections, sections into the woods, and sections along the lake, offering quite a bit of diversity of terrain. Great place to get closer to nature in Raleigh.
