This is a beautiful river hike along a wide path beside the river.  Feel free to go at your own pace, but we'll stay with a majority of the group.  This is a GREAT hike for beginners or anyone new to the AOC.  
 
There are restrooms at the starting location and the other side of our loop. The parking lot is large, but this is a popular location so arrive EARLY to get your spot.  WE'LL GATHER AT 12:45pm JUST INSIDE THE GATE FOR INTRODUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING AT 1:00 SHARP.  Keep our cell numbers handy in case you need to reach us.
 
If the lot is full, you can park across the bridge at Powers Island parking lot and walk over the bridge to get to the location.
 
YOU'LL NEED $3.00 or a CRNRA annual parking pass $35.  They have a machine here where you can buy the yearly pass with your credit card.
