Description: Join the 20s/30s for a hike around Ridley Creek State Park in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, followed by empanadas!
Ridley Creek State Park is a 2,606-acre lush oasis with a mix of woodlands, meadows, and a trout-stocked creek.

We’ll meet in the parking area for Picnic Area 9, near the restrooms at the trailhead, before starting the White Trail Loop.
The trail loop is 4.3 miles with an elevation gain of 580 ft. The terrain will be rocky, rooty, muddy, wet, and can be slippery. The trail will loop us through the forests and the steep slopes that flank Ridley Creek. We'll pass over some streams and walk along the creek.

After the hike, we’ll stop at the Buenos Aires Empanada Bar, a cafe selling a variety of empanadas and desserts!

Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day, bringing layers, a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, etc. Also, wear sturdy shoes you do not mind potentially getting dirty. Pack snacks and plenty of water that you can enjoy along the trail.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a 6-foot or shorter leash, as required in PA state parks.

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

If you are running late or have questions, text Kelsey at 586-746-9306.
