    Adawehi’s hiking trails are an easy walk that meanders along White Oak Creek, past an abundance of native plants and the occasional wild turkey. The trails are located in our Stewardship Forest – a North Carolina Forest Service designation we received for the wise use and conservation of Adawehi’s forest resources, including wildlife, timber, soil, water, recreational opportunities, and natural beauty. A new addition to our trails is the Adawehi Labyrinth – a serene, sacred setting for all to enjoy.
