Please join us for a hike to Charit Creek Lodge, a short one-mile but moderately strenuous trek in the heart of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, located three hours east of Nashville. From there, one can leave their belongings and explore the area or enjoy the serenity. The lodge offers the perfect place to relax and reconnect. Play games in the dining room by the wood-burning stove or toss horseshoes on the lawn. Hike to the Twin Arches or Slave Falls. Splash in Station Camp creek or just sit on the porch and enjoy a cold beverage and a book.

NSC will have its own cabin for our rustic yet charming accommodations. Handcrafted meals that are thoughtfully prepared with fresh and nourishing ingredients are provided. Guests will be treated to dinner and breakfast as part of their overnight stay. Wine is offered for sale or BYOB.

Carpools will be arranged or come on your own. Possible Saturday morning horseback riding through forests of eastern evergreens and giant rhododendron might be an option if there is interest; let the event leader know if you're interested.
