Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike at the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve. There are numerous trails and we will have time to hike all of them. The hike will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Nature Center parking lot. We will first head south down the Dunlap Trail, connect to the West Lake Trail where we will loop around Chicopee Lake where we will take about 10 minute break and enjoy the lake. Then back to the parking lot via the East Lake Trail. Once at the parking lot we will pick up the Dodd Trail and Mathis Trail to bring us up to about 7 1/2 miles.

Hike begins promptly at 9:00 am - we will be back to the Nature Center parking lot by 12:00

This hike will be at a moderate pace - just under 3 mph
