The gates were opened and I hiked down some of the open and gated roads.
It was a pretty but cold morning and I went a couple miles before turning back.
By this time, the park was open and I headed to Medoc Mountain State Park. The day-use area was closed so I parked at the visitor center and hiked the bike trails to Little Fishing Creek.
I took the trails close to the creek, passing the closed area and when the trail approached Medoc Mountain Road, I crossed to head to the equestrian section of the park. Hiking down the Main Trail, I turned on Pine Connector Trail.
This trail connected with Pine Loop and several other trails to make a couple loop hikes around the area.
Finishing up the bridle trails, I re-crossed the road and finished up the hiking trails to head back to the start.
On the way home, I stopped for a beer at Tar Banks Brewing in Louisburg.
