Detailed description is Promoting outdoor recreation and land conservation in the historic community of Bethania, North Carolina.
Black Walnut Bottom Trail.
.
This 1.4 mile trail runs through protected land in the Bethania National Historic Landmark District.
Parking lot for the Bethania Town Hall and Visitors Center offers plenty of free spaces for walking all the trails around Bethania.
Black Walnut trail starts at the right side of the Town Hall where some steps descend a bank and lead to a kiosk (information sign).
This trail includes nine-tenths of a mile loop in Black Walnut Bottom, crosses five foot bridges and leads to Muddy Creek, colonial era agricultural fields and the base of hard wood covered Black Walnut Bluffs..
.
Trail Directions: Pass the trail head kiosk and trail head sign for Black Walnut Bottom Trail.
The “infinity” type symbol at the top of the sign is the same symbol that the Moravian Surveyor Christian Reuter used to designate bottom-lands on a 1767 map of Bethania..
.
Follow a level path through the bottom land woods, and at one-tenth of a mile pass a carved stone that explains how the 60 acres of land where the trail runs were protected by a combination of funding from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund and gifts of land or land value made by families that owned the land..
.
After another 90 feet, reach a fork in the trail.
This fork is the beginning of a short 0.15 mile loop that can be used for a shorter loop walk.
Bear left at that fork, and reach a foot bridge that crosses a drainage ditch after another 350 feet.
Turn left and walk across the bridge to continue on the 1.4 mile Black Walnut Bottom Trail.
One continues straight (and do not cross the bridge) to stay on the shorter 0.15 mile loop..
.
Continuing on the Black Walnut Bottom Trail, one crosses a field and at 0.25 miles reaches Bear Creek and the footbridge across the creek..
After another 50 feet, reach a split in the trail and bear left.
The 0.9 mile loop through Black Walnut Bottom begins here..
.
Walk a level path through the ash trees that grow in the Muddy Creek flood plain bottom and note stands of tall reeds to the right near Muddy Creek.
1750-era Moravian Records note the presence of large stands of reeds along Muddy Creek and how the reeds could serve as forage for cattle kept by the first settlers in Bethabara..
.
At 0.4 miles pass a bench, a nice view of Muddy Creek and a sign that reads “Muddy Creek”.
After another 100 feet, cross a footbridge over a drainage ditch that was hand dug by early Moravians when they drained the bottom lands to make them suitable for farming..
.
Cross two smaller drainage ditches and part of a large field and at 0.5 miles, reach the first footbridge across Laurel Creek..
.
Beyond the footbridge, the trail becomes a narrow footpath in deeper woods..
After another 200 feet, bear left and follow the footpath along an old road bed that runs along the base of Black Walnut Bluff.
As you walk, note how the trees on the bluff are poplar or oak or hickory and quite different from the ash tree filled woods in the bottom lands.
The 1767-era map by the Moravian Surveyor Reuter show that the same kind of mature, upland hardwoods grew on this bluff 250 years ago..
.
After another 450 feet turn left, descend slightly as you leave the old road bed and at 0.65 miles reach the second bridge across Laurel Creek..
Bear left just after you cross the bridge and after another 200 feet, reach the edge of a large field and a bench and bear right..
.
Cross the large field, then pass through a much smaller remnant field and at 0.85 miles reach a bench, turn left and then cross into another large field.
This large field was once the location of medieval type, equal sized “strip fields” that were assigned to families that lived on “house lots” along Main Street in Bethania..
.
Cross this second large field and at 1.0 mile, reach the other side of the field and turn left.
At 1.1 miles, reach the end of the 0.9 mile loop.
At that point, turn right to re-cross the bridge across Bear Creek and return to the start of the trail at 1.4 miles..
.
Reuter Survey Trail.
.
Trail offers a one and one-half mile loop trail on protected land in the Bethania National Historic Landmark District.
It leads to the top of Bethania Knoll, a high ridge and bluff above Muddy Creek, and then to a half-mile loop in deep woods that were once the site of “medieval” style strip fields that were assigned to individual farming families who lived on “house lots” in Bethania.
The strip fields were surveyed by the Moravian surveyor P.C.G.
Reuter in the 1760s.
The location of the old fields is now a pine forest and is now called “Reuter Old Fields.”.
.
We suggest parking in the lot for the Bethania Town Hall and the Bethania Visitor Center located at the corner of Main Street and Bethania Road.
Walk to the end of the parking lot opposite the Town Hall, turn left and walk along Bethania Road facing traffic.
Cross Muddy Creek after walking 360 feet along Bethania Road.
After walking another 900 feet beyond the creek, reach Barnard Ridge Road (a private road) where it intersects Bethania Road.
Just beyond Barnard Ridge Road, cross Bethania Road and reach the entrance to the Reuter Survey Trail (there is a “hiking trail” sign at the entrance to the trail)..
.
Trail Directions: The trail enters the woods on an old logging road.
Immediately pass the trail head sign for the Reuter Survey Trail.
After 200 feet, bear left, leave the logging road and head uphill on a foot trail that leads to Bethania Knoll.
As you turn, pass a stone marker that explains how the Piedmont Land Conservancy worked with the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund to protect Bethania Knoll..
.
Ascend the side of Bethania Knoll and at 0.2 miles from Bethania Road, reach the intersection with Bethania Knoll Trail..
.
The Bethania Knoll Trail leads right and goes 400 feet to a viewpoint on top of a high bluff on Bethania Knoll overlooking Muddy Creek.
The 1.5 miles of trail distance include 800 feet of walking to the Bethania Knoll viewpoint and back..
Continue on the Reuter Survey Trail by turning left at the trail intersection..
After 400 more feet, reach an old logging road and turn right.
Head downhill, bear right at the bottom of the hill, cross a bridge across a small stream and at 0.6 miles, reach the start of the loop and soon pass the “Reuter Old Fields” sign..
.
This area was once in the heart of the “strip fields” surveyed by Reuter in this portion of the Muddy Creek flood plain.
Originally, the Moravian Church owned the land and one field was assigned and leased to each family in Bethania, assuring that each family shared equally in the best and most productive farm land in the fertile flood plain of Muddy Creek.
The strip fields were reached from the homes in the middle of Bethania by following “alleyways” that led between other fields..
.
Archaeologists have also determined that 10,000 years ago, early Native Americans used this same bottom land in this vicinity as the site for camps where they would hunt and gather mussels for food from nearby Muddy Creek..
Continue straight through the pines and follow trail signs as you walk the loop portion of the trail..
.
At 0.75 miles, reach a short side trail that turns left and goes to the top of the bank of Muddy Creek..
.
Continue on the Reuter Survey Trail by turning right at the intersection with the short side trail to Muddy Creek..
.
At 1.05 miles, reach the end of the loop portion of the trail..
From here, turn left, retrace your earlier route and return to Bethania Road, reaching the road after walking 1.5 miles..
.
Graveyard Hill Trail.
.
A seven-tenths of a mile trail on protected land in the Bethania National Historic Landmark District.
It starts from behind the Bethania Mill Shops, includes a short two-tenths of a mile loop in an upland field and leads to the eroded bed of the colonial era road that led from Bethania to Bethabara.
This trail passes through an old field and attractive woods near God’s Acre, it is called the “Graveyard Hill Trail.”.
.
Walk to the gravel parking lot behind the Bethania Mill.
The trail starts towards the left end of the parking lot (if you stand with your back to the mill)..
Trail Directions: Pass the trail head sign for the Graveyard Hill Trail..
Pass through some woods and an old field where small trees are taking over and bear left..
.
At 0.2 miles, enter the deeper, older God’s Acre Woods where a short path leads left to the God’s Acre, Bethania’s Moravian Cemetery..
Continue on the Graveyard Hill Trail by going straight and at 0.25 miles, reach the edge of the upland field and the start of the two-tenths of a mile loop.
This upland field was once identified as one of the most threatened historic landscape elements in Bethania and Forsyth County..
.
Go left, follow the trail around the upland field and at 0.35 miles reach a short side trail that leads to the edge of the old colonial road from Bethania to Bethabara..
.
Lord Cornwallis led his 1,800-man army along this road on the morning of February 10, 1781 as they left Bethania and continued their pursuit of Nathaniel Greene’s patriot army which began after Daniel Morgan’s patriot force soundly defeated Banastre Tarleton’s British forces at the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina on January 17, 1781..
.
At 0.45 miles reach the end of the loop portion of the trail..
.
From here, one turns left, and retrace your earlier route and return to the parking lot behind the Bethania Mill..
.
The protected land on which this trail runs was made possible through the efforts of the Piedmont Land Conservancy and former landowners.
The funds to purchase the land came from numerous donors and from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund..
.
Orchard Trail.
.
The newest of the trails is the Orchard Trail.
The path begins in the young apple orchard just off Bethania-Rural Hall road by the “Old Wagon Road” Sign.
The trail offers a .25 mile walk down a winding pathway through the woods with a lovely shaded bench less than halfway down and continues through the woods coming to a wide area to sit and relax just at the edge of the tree line with yet another bench and plenty of shade.
The trail continues out of the woods and into the sunlight looping through an open field approximately .4 miles around, making the total round trip back to the trailhead at the Orchard just shy of 1 mile.
.
In front of the Orchard there is enough room on the shoulder of Bethania-Rural Hall Rd.
to park, be aware of the ground conditions when parking here.
Adjacent from the Orchard is the Moravian church as well as another Church just down the road which may offer parking, or simply park at the Visitors center and have a short walk to the trail either through town or you can walk part of Graveyard Hill trail and come out early at the God’s Acre cemetery and cut through the back parking lot of the Moravian Church and the Orchard trail is on the other side..
