JONES LAKE — The statewide Mountains-to-Sea Trail has found a new way to get across eastern North Carolina, and it’s called the Coastal Crescent Route. In May, Mountains-to-Sea Trail Month, hikers will explore sections of this nascent trail, starting on Saturday, May 14 at 9:30 a.m. with a stretch that runs through Jones Lake State Park and Turnbull Educational State Forest. Participants will hike about 8 miles, with the opportunity to take a dip in Jones Lake at the end. For details and to sign up, click here.
