Name: French Creek Sunday Morning 10 at 10 Hike
Start: 2025-11-23T10:00:00-05:00
End: 2025-11-23T14:00:00-05:00
Location: French Creek State Park

Join us on the trails at French Creek State Park at a new time of 10 AM.

We are doing around 10 miles, so expect a 9 to 11 miles long hike at a moderate pace. We can reach the farthest trails in French Creek at this distance. This hike is rated "vigorous" only because of the length. It is not geared to be a workout hike. We will take time to stop for breaks at the top of hills and as needed to keep the group together.

Expect less than 2000 feet total elevation gain the whole hike.

The starting location is at the French Creek State Park Playground. This is 800 feet southwest of the Hopewell Lake boat ramp parking area going towards the park office. The GPS coordinates for the playground are: 40.1983077435609,-75.79114511944678. Modern bathrooms at the start. We meet there before 10:00 AM and leave soon after. We normally finish about 30 minutes before the stated end time.

Bring water plus a snack if desired. We will stop to de-layer once we start moving. I have only limited text and talking cell phone coverage in the park at the start.

I only cancel this hike due to adverse weather conditions which make it unsafe to drive or hike. Check Meetup comments. I'll update the AMC database status too.

Well behaved dogs can come on this hike if they can keep up with the group. Owners of dogs not on leashes will be asked to leave the hike. Please post a Meetup comment in advance if you are planning to bring your pet.

On-line registration in the AMC system is not required for this hike; While I find Meetup convenient, I welcome and reserve spaces for AMC members from the Outdoor Connector website (go to http://activities.outdoors.org/ ) (Meetup is: https://www.meetup.com/Appalachian-Mountain-Club-Delaware-Valley-Chapter/ ). Update your RSVPs if your plans change. All participants will need to agree to and sign a paper AMC legal waver sheet just prior to the hike if you did not register on the AMC Outdoor Connector site.
