Please join us for a spring hike on the 5 miles or 2 miles at the Maybury State Park. This hike will have options to go for 2 miles (slow paced) or 5 miles (fast-paced) so please prepare yourself accordingly.

This moderately hilly trail winds through the woods and by some ponds.
Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. Please arrive at 12:45 PM for sign in so we can start promptly at 1 PM.

Maybury State Park requires the Michigan Recreation Passport for vehicle entry (or you can buy a day pass at the park).
We will meet near the Walnut picnic shelter in the West Parking Lot (click the map attached to this Meetup to find the exact meeting location or use these directions: from the 8-Mile Road Park entrance, pass the Maybury entrance station then turn right to reach the west parking lot).
