Description: If you are in your 20s/30s and looking for a great hike – this one is for you! Join us for an easy relaxed-pace 6-mile hike around the reservoir. Let's hope to catch a glimpse of bald-headed eagles or other unique birds that are frequently seen in the area. Perhaps we will be lucky to witness a flock of snow geese and their majestic sky show. The trail includes a short rock hop with a rope to assist across a shallow water crossing.

Meet and circle up at 10am at the visitor center. Wear sturdy footwear; pack water and lunch. Rain/snow cancels. Please note cell phone reception and GPS satellite signal are spotty at Merrill Creek. Contact L[s] for additional information.

Description: 5,265-acre Lake Nockamixon State Park is in the rolling hills of Bucks County. The state began purchasing property in 1961 and the park was later developed further by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of a larger plan for the Delaware River basin. It became a park in 1965 but officially opened in 1973.

We will be hiking the approximately 5.2-mile Old Mill trail that takes us along beautiful Lake Nockamixon. The Old Mill trail is a hiking and equestrian trail that crosses a stream at the Old Mill pond and passes across the top of the stone dam breast. Hikers pass through a mature woodlot, pine plantations, and a loop walk that follows the lake shore. Portions of the trail are paved, but the majority is uneven dirt, and there is one stream crossing.

Join us afterwards for lunch at Fieldstone Coffee Roasters and Bistro for a cozy warm drink and food.

Please wear sturdy walking or hiking shoes with good grip. If it has recently snowed, footwear traction, like yak traxs or micro spikes, and/or poles are recommended for icy conditions. If it has recently rained, trails may be muddy. Bring water and snacks. Hike may be canceled due to inclement weather. Hike leader will contact you the day of, for cancellation.

Description: If you're in your 20s and 30s, this is the hike for you! Join your peers (including myself) on a 3.5 mile hike around the Wetlands Loop at John Heinz Wildlife Refuge.

We will meet at the Visitor Center at 8:45am and leave promptly at 9am to ensure that everyone can get to family holiday lunches and dinners on time. The terrain is partly paved, partly dirt, and completely flat.

I will bring some Easter-themed treats for us, and participants can feel free to bring some as well that we will munch as we go along. : )
I'm also a former Membership chair for the Delaware Valley Chapter and will be happy to answer any questions about our group! No dogs, please. Heavy rain will cancel but light rain is okay.
