Description: Join us for a 4.8 mile hike at the scenic Maurice River Bluffs Preserve along the bluffs trail i n Millville, NJ. The preserve is named for its majestic rounded cliffs overlooking the 35.4-mile “Wild and Scenic” Maurice River. This 500-acre preserve offers hilly terrain not often found in southern New Jersey. The preserve provides crucial stopover habitat for migrating and breeding birds, including songbirds, waterfowl and raptors like nesting osprey and bald eagles. The nature preserve also hosts productive freshwater ponds and unique plant communities, including some of New Jersey’s largest contiguous wild rice marshes.
The Bluffs trail is a loop trail that features a 35-foot long bridge, steps and rails throughout the steeper parts that make the trails accessible to all levels of hikers, as well as bird blinds overlooking the river.

Description: Join the 20s/30s for a relaxed hike around Evansburg state park, a wonderful little gem just outside of Collegeville!

Evansburg State park has a nice mix of meadows, woodlands, historic buildings, gravel bars of the Skippack creek that winds through it. The creek loop trail offers a nice sampling of some of the best parts of the park. We’ll meet in the parking area next to Pavilion A, near the restrooms at the trailhead before starting the Skippack Creek loop.

Heavy rain will cancel the hike. Registered participants will be notified by 7 am on the day of the hike if a cancellation is necessary.

The trail will take us down to and around both banks of the Skippack creek, we’ll even cross what is considered the oldest stone bridge in the US that still sees heavy use. There is a small change in elevation once we cross the bridge that rewards us with great views of the many beech, oak, and sycamore trees that grow along the banks of the creek below. The trail loop is 4.8 miles with an elevation gain of 242 ft.

Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day, bringing layers, a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, etc. Parts of this trail will have us along meadows, whereas other parts take us into shaded woodlands. There is a brief section of trail that has us walking along the road, so please keep that in mind. Part of the trail close to the creek bank may be a little muddy, so wear sturdy shoes you do not mind potentially getting dirty. Pack snacks and plenty of water that you can enjoy along the trail.

If you feel like indulging your sweet tooth, after the hike we’ll stop at Scoop Happy Ice cream shop in Skippack which is known not only for its many different flavors of ice cream, but for its waffles and smoothies!

This is the second qualifying co-lead for Jeff Cocci to become an AMC leader, so come out and support him.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a 6’ or shorter leash as required in PA state parks.
