The Osprey Trail presents an easy-to-moderate 2.7-mile hike along the south banks of Lake Townsend. Ospreys have been nesting along this trail for years and, if you watch carefully, you may spot one overhead, hovering above the lake, looking for fish. Sponsored by Guilford Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) Friends, the Osprey Trail is part of the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
