Itinerary:

Come and enjoy a morning hike at Jones Bridge Park. This will be a glorious silent hike, where we can listen to the sounds of nature.

 

We cover over 5 miles keeping a moderate to fast pace with stops in few intersections.

We will walk along the river towards the pond, and come back through the woods. 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.

 

***Don't leave any valuables in your vehicles for there have been cases of vandalism.
