Perhaps the most difficult part of New Hope Overlook is getting there. The Jordan Lake state park doesn't give very specific instructions on how to find the place: "From US 64, turn south on Beaver Creek Road/SR1008. After passing Ebenezer Recreation Area, turn right onto Pea Ridge Road and follow the signs to the park entrance, which is on the right."
I’ve been doing a lot of hiking. Nothing fancy: just checking out some of the local trails. As I casually explore the area I have realized two things: it is amazing how much of the topography has been altered and leveled by human hands, and if I am ever to remember the various combinations of short trails and day hikes that I’ve sampled then I need to record it. As I can only tackle one of those subjects in a single post we'll start with the latter. While there are plenty of websites with squiggling GPS lines and comments on different locations, they don't seem to provide much clarity or insight on a specific trail for a beginner. So here I go with my meager attempts.
