Itinerary:

Welcome to the first TGIF of the summer!

We will move at a moderately fast pace to cover over 5.5 miles with stops in few intersections.

We will walk along the woods towards the pond, and come back through the river. 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. You're welcome to bring a trash bag to help collect trash on the go.

Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash. Dog owners should walk ahead or at the back of the group.

 

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