This Land, Your Land

Next Saturday morning may not be the best time to visit Raven Rock State Park, unless you're into sharing the trail with long-distance runners.

The Raven Rock Rumble, 5- and 10-mile trail runs, is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. November 19. The runs start on the park's main road and take in the Raven Rock Loop, including American Beech Nature Trail, Little Creek Loop and Fish Traps Trail, and the Campbell Creek Loop.

The state parks division says to be aware of heavy vehicle and visitor/race participant traffic between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. This will include parking in the overflow lot off Moccasin Branch Road, according to the Rumble's website.

If you want to join the run, online registration has closed, but walk-up registration and packet pickup is to be at the new picnic shelter on the right side of the main park road.

The race is a benefit for Friends of State Parks and the Cumberland County Special Olympics.
