Over the next few weeks, Southern Appalachian brook trout will begin their spawning season. A few have recently been spotted pairing up. Be mindful of active reds. Avoid wading through redds (beds) and disturbing these fish while they’re in their reproductive cycle. Look for clean, light-colored patches of gravel. Those are redds, so step around them and give these native fish a chance to make the next generation.

Still looking for a fun way to spend your Monday? Come hike with a llama!
There’s still space on Monday’s guided llama hike in DuPont State Forest. We’ll hit the trail for about 3 miles, visit two beautiful waterfalls, and spend the morning exploring one of our favorite places in the mountains with a llama tagging along for the adventure. Weather is looking perfect!
It’s pretty hard not to smile when you’re hiking alongside one of these guys.
The hike is easy to moderate, family-friendly, and a great way to experience DuPont with a little extra personality. Expect waterfalls, forest trails, plenty of llama smiles, and a whole lot of fun along the way.
Monday at 9:30 AM
DuPont State Forest
3 miles | 2 waterfalls | about 2–2.5 hours
$75/person
Pre-registration required
Come hike. Come see the waterfalls. Come meet a llama. You’ll be glad you did.
Reserve your spot at Headwaters Outfitters, find the Guided Llama Hike under the Hiking tab or check the Events Calendar.
