Is your kid all about being on the water, especially with a paddle? If yes, we've got some awesome summer programs! Our Youth C2 program lets young paddlers use C2 canoes with an onboard coach that will be focusing on water safety, speed, and technique. We also have a Learn to Kayak course, perfect for beginners. Both programs really stress water safety! For more information and registration visit WWW.Hansonhills.org

🚵‍♂️ MTB Trail Report – Ride Ready 🌲🔥

Trail crew put in work today and cleared a ton of debris on the Outer Loop (Red) and Campground Return 💪

It’s opening up nicely out there—flow is back, lines are cleaner, and it’s time to go find some dirt.

Get out, get after it, and enjoy the ride 🤘🌿

💙 Trail Love Reminder: If you’re enjoying the trails, swing by the blue donation tube. We kindly ask for a $2 daily donation—every bit helps keep these trails cleared and ride-ready.

Trail Update 🌲👣

Hiking trails are in great shape right now!

✔ Oak Ridge – Clear and ready to roll
✔ Pines – Mostly dry with just one small water spot (easy step-over… or take the leap if you’re feeling it 😄)

Get out and enjoy it—conditions are about as friendly as it gets this time of year

Trail Update for the Weekend!
The Outer Loop is cleared and ready to ride. Huge thanks to Tom Brooks for all the hard work tackling that section of trail.

That means the Main Loop, Outer Loop, and Extension Loop are all cleared up and good to go for the weekend.

There is one small section of water in the first half mile just past the pond, but it is easily rideable.

And for the disc golfers — the Hill Course is playable!

Get out there, enjoy the trails, and make the most of the weekend at Hanson Hills

The crew has been putting in WORK and it’s paying off…

Mountain Bike Trails
Main loop ✅
Extension loop ✅
All clear of fallen trees and riding SMOOTH. Conditions are shaping up nicely and it’s lining up to be a prime weekend to get out and rip. Go shake the rust off and find your flow.

Disc Golf Update
• Pine Knoll: Holes 2-5 are currently flooded… unless you’ve got a floating putter, you might want to skip those for now.
• Hill Course: Crews are out assessing and cleaning things up — we’re pushing to get it open ASAP.
