Pinecone Pathways 2026
March 28 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Get ready for the best county-wide scavenger hunt in North Carolina!
The Pinecone Pathways Program returns to the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen area March 20 – April 22, 2026.
The Pinecone Pathways Program launched in 2022 to celebrate North Carolina’s Year of the Trail and thanks to its popularity, the hunt is now an annual tradition! For 2026, the CVB is once again teaming up with the talented glassmakers at Starworks in Star, NC, to create 100 colorful glass pinecones. These pinecones will be hidden along Moore County trails for six weeks, starting on the first day of spring (March 20) and ending on Earth Day (April 22). As an added bonus, 25 pinecones will feature special red, white, and blue designs in honor of America 250. Finders of these editions will be eligible for a special prize (details below).
Each week, we’ll announce a new set of trails on our social media, guiding pinecone hunters on where to explore and discover our beautiful glass pinecones. The pinecones are life-sized and tagged with a unique number and QR code.
