Nature Walk around Willow Lake in Flushing Meadows - Corona Park, Queens

Join me for a hike at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. We'll hike the Pat Dolan Trail around Willow Lake for approximately 30 minutes pausing for a 5 minute guided mediation followed by a 15 minute nature journaling session where we'll write, sketch, trace, doodle, or notate our impressions. Then we'll hike back out.

• Meet up spot: E/F **75 Avenue Station **by the Medex Diagnostic and Treatment Center
• I recommend wearing socks and comfortable walking shoes that can get muddy
• Pencils & journals are provided (or feel free to bring your own)
• Call or text me with any questions (917) 689-4651
• Bring bug spray if you're sensitive to bug bites (& I'll have some to share)

This is an true "urban hike" in that you'll experience a sharp and immediate contrast between city infrastructure and wilderness. The trail crosses over the Grand Central Parkway and leads us into the shady wetlands around Willow Lake. As we hike into the park the highway noise becomes background to birds, crickets, and the plod of our footsteps.
