Late Fall Hike at Medoc Mountain

Saturday, I headed east for a couple of hikes in Halifax County.  I left early and first stopped at Brinkleyville Game Land.


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.
