Sports and Outdoors

Upstate Pride and Baloo Ridge have partnered to offer LGBTQ-friendly hikes at Conestee Nature Preserve on the first Sunday of each month. There are miles of trails with great birding and non-strenuous terrain. We meet up at 10 a.m. by the dog park and hit the trail around 10:15. These hikes are family-friendly and leashed dogs are welcome on the trails.
