Description: Join the 20s/30s for a hike before the first annual AMC DV picnic! Note - registration for the picnic is separate.
We will meet at the picnic location, pavilion 17. ( In addition to the address provided, there will be directional signs for the pavilion throughout the park.) The plan is to finish up back at Pavillion 17, just as the picnic is starting! There will be bathrooms available at the start and along the hiking route.

The trail loop is 6 miles with an elevation gain of 744 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.

Post hike, plan to stay for the annual picnic by registering at https://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UVX000001Fn9W/act00023020 . Complete the registration form by noon on Saturday, September 12. (Sorry, but we need a head count to know how much food to buy.)

AMC will work the grill and offer hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers. Condiments, chips, and a cookie platter are also part of the menu. All you need to bring is your beverage of choice (sorry, but park rules prohibit alcohol), which you can store in our chilled coolers. Of course, if you want to kick in some food - a favorite side dish or dessert – we won’t complain. Just drop us a note in the 20s/30s WhatsApp chat.

After lunch, we’ve lined up some great games, with exciting prizes awarded to winners. We’ll be piping in music, so be sure to suggest your favorite tunes on our WhatsApp chat. We’ll try to make sure your picks are on the playlist.

Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day of, bringing layers, a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, etc. Also, wear sturdy shoes that 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, but the picnic is on regardless. Registered participants will be notified by 7 a.m. on the day of the hike if a cancellation is necessary.
