Access/Parking
Access to the Graining Fork Nature Preserve is via the designated parking area of Hop's. The parking area is used to access the GFNP with a few park and ride locations.
Since the parking area belongs to the Hop's there is no outside alcohol consumption allowed (a requirement of the ABC license for the business).
We also ask that you practice Leave No Trace while in the parking area.
