This event is a cross-posting with Berks-Lehigh Hiking and Backpacking.
This will be a (roughly) 7 mile hike around the far western arm of Blue Marsh Lake. We'll head west from the parking lot, paralleling Route 183 for roughly 2 miles. We will cross the narrowest part of the lake by way of the bridge on N Heidelberg Road. Immediately after the bridge, we will bear left, and follow the trail along the opposite shore of the lake for just under 4 miles. We will cross the lake again via the bridge on Old Church Road, then turn left. The trail runs between the lake and Route 183 for another mile or so, until we return to the parking lot.
***NOTE: These distances are just approximate. I can't find my copy of the map, and the website seems to be down. I will verify these numbers and update them ASAP.
