County officials will hold a ribbon-cutting Saturday at 4 p.m. at Hinchee Park. The 235-acre woodland preserve features a 2-mile trail connecting the Hanging Rock Battlefield Trail with Carvins Cove Natural Reserve. The creation of Hinchee Park was made possible by a generous land donation from Nancy Hinchee Pace, as well as significant fundraising efforts from private donors coordinated through Roanoke Valley Greenways and Pathfinders for Greenways. For those looking to attend the ribbon-cutting, it will take place at the Hanging Rock Battlefield Trailhead at 1918 Dutch Oven Road, near I-81 exit 141.
