Itinerary:

We are back! Come and enjoy another TGIF hike at Jones Bridge Park. We cover over 5 miles keeping a moderate to fast pace with stops in few intersections.

We will walk along the woods towards the pond, and come back through the river again. In general, the trails are flat with some relatively easy uphill climbs, nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available here.

Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash. I will also ask the dog owners to walk ahead or at the back of the group.

Please bring water and your $3 for the parking. Don't leave any valuables in your vehicles for there have been cases of vandalism.

Please bring disposable gloves and a plastic bag for trash; we might need to do some trail cleaning.
