Join OA on Sunday, April 19 for a great hike through one of Durham’s most diverse natural areas! The Sweet Trail is a 9-mile round-trip route that winds through marshes, pine stands, and estuaries along the Great Bay. With minimal elevation gain, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who wants a longer hike without the challenge of climbing a mountain. Registration closes April 17. Details on the Campus Rec website.
