Itinerary:

Let's hike Sope Creek.  We will start at 1:30 PM, so plan on arriving 10 minutes early for introductions.  This is a CRNRA unit so it will require either an annual CRNRA pass or $5.   

We will hike a variety of trails in the park that will allow is to explore the various corners of the Sope Creek unit.  

Our pace will be moderate and we will plan on covering about 4.5 miles in 2 hours.  There are some hills we will be climbing and a few roots and rocks, but nothing too difficult. 

The Sope Creek parking lot entrance is off of Paper Mill Road in Marietta. See detailed directions below.


Required Items to Bring:
