Itinerary:

We will start off by heading to the ‘big’ hill that takes us from the back of the parking lot to the actual Jones Bridge. From the Bridge we’ll hike along the river trail, go up a few hills and into the back woods of the park. We’ll work our way over to the pond, then loop around the open fields and to the far end river trails. 

Expect a moderate pace throughout the hike with a few water breaks to enjoy the scenery. Hopefully we'll hear the resident owl hooting at us again and see the family of deer grazing in the woods. 

Definition of a D2 hike: Gentle to Moderate elevation gain 400-1000 feet, moderate pace; generally 4-6 miles in distance. 

The park entrance is located on Barnwell Road between Holcomb Bridge Road and Jones Bridge Road. We will meet at the parking lot at the end of the Jones Bridge Unit Access Road which is the entrance road into the park. 

If you do not have an annual CRNRA parking pass, you will need to purchase a $3 dollar daily pass at the pay station in the parking lot. You can also buy and annual pass at this pay station.

Up to 2 dogs will be allowed but you must keep them on their leash at all times. Please register your dog at time of sign up. 

We will start PROMPTLY at 6 pm. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to get ready and meet everyone.

Restrooms are available

As always, remove all valuables from your car, including your trunk since there have been incidents of vandalism in the past.
