Land OwnerTown of Robbins NC
A quick and fun alternative to the gravel access road connecting holes 1 & 2 of the Bear Creek Disc Golf course.
Hobo Path runs from the spillway back towards the parking lot and features a punchy climb straight up toward the (abandoned) railroad tracks. From there a single-track path along the tracks leads back to the road.
