Forest Park Mindful Morning Walk

Join us for a refreshing 2.4 mile loop on the Orange Trail through one of Queens’ most enchanting urban forests. Throughout this loop we’ll wander beneath century‑old pitch pines, cross footbridges over streams, and even see early 20th century stone walls! Maybe we'll even get to see resident red tailed hawks and screech owls.

This loop trail will be taken at a relaxed pace, on relatively flat terrain, with plenty of breaks and shaded areas. Forest Park is a wonderful oasis that is perfect for hikers seeking a taste of wilderness without venturing far from home.

Bring water, weather-appropriate clothes, sun-screen, bug spray, sturdy footwear, and a positive attitude! No dogs allowed on this hike.

Meeting Place & Time: Meet us at 9:00am at the park entrance at Park Lane South and Myrtle Ave. After a brief talk about the AMC and this morning's route, we'll start off no later than 9:15am.

How to get there: Richmond Hill (Park Lane S on Google) & Myrtle Ave Entrance. It is the Park Ln South & Myrtle Av Stop on the Q37 Bus. It is a 12 minute walk from the 104th St station on the J or Z train or 20 minutes walk from the Kew Gardens E or F and LIRR train station stops.
