Tuesday Hike (Hybrid)-Channing Philbrick/Linear Park
Details
Note - This hike is cross-posted from the ADK-GVC Event Calendar: https://adk-gvc.org/calendar/
Two-hour hybrid hike split between a 45-minute, 1.5-mile loop on wide, well-maintained trails along Irondequoit Creek towards Home Depot, then returning to the parking lot, followed by a 2nd hike at a faster pace towards Spring Lake Park for the rest of the 2-hour hike. While this hike will be mostly flat, there is a short side trail up a hill that runs along Honey Creek we might take for a short hill climb to an overlook. Meet 9:45am in the N Washington St parking area (43.12706, -77.48405) for Channing Philbrick/Linear Park (at the blocked off bridge on N Washington St, East Rochester, NY 14445) for a 10:00am hike start. Alternative parking off 441 (43.12730, -77.48490) north of the blocked off bridge on Linear Park Dr, then walk to the south side of the blocked off bridge. Please dress for the weather, wear boots or trail shoes with good traction, bring some water to drink, and with the warming weather, some tick repellent. Hiking poles would be useful on the steeper sections. Contact Jim Bishop at adk.gvc.trpldr@gmail.com with any questions. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
Our hybrid hike consists of 2 hikes that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1-hour easier hike at a slower pace with less elevation change, then continue with the 2nd hike for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.
