Itinerary:

Come and hike a very pretty trail.

We will go to Elachee Nature Center and hike the Chicopee Trail.

This trail is a hidden gem, it feels like you are stepping on clouds, rarely to encounter any roots and NO Rocks, literally none!

Elevation of  1240 feet is spread out, and equally split between the trips out and back, 4 beautiful creeks to cross and get your feet wet, we will not pause to change shoes.

We will take the trail south all the way to Chicopee Lake, then head back north.

Chicopee does not intersect with any other trails, so no chance in making the wrong turn.

Some pretty photos of the creeks, as you can see, it's shallow and mostly narrow but it's unavoidable to get your feet wet, I would say the trail is totally worth it.

 

 

 

There is $5 parking fee, you will pay at the entrance gate.

 

Many Thanks to Deema for being the one who has found and brought this hike to us!!!!
