About Cane Creek Mountains
Cane Creek Mountains is a summit in North Carolina, about 6 miles from the town of Alamance. It sits at roughly 974 feet of elevation, and several short trails start within a mile of it, making it an easy anchor for a day of hiking in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burlington show October highs around 73°F with lows near 49°F, and April is similar at about 74°F by day and 48°F at night. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. The closest trails are Pioneer Camp Trail (purple) and Mountain View Trail (red), each about half a mile away, with Lark Loop (yellow) at about 0.6 miles. Paddlers can head to the Haw River Paddle Trail, roughly 6.6 miles off.
