🌿Hike & Picnic

🌿Hike & Picnic at Woolly Hollow State Park 🥪☀️

Looking for a fun, relaxed way to spend your Saturday morning outdoors? Join us for a beautiful group hike around Lake Bennett followed by a picnic lunch together at Woolly Hollow State Park!

We’ll meet at 9:30 AM on May 30th in front of the Visitor Center and begin hiking shortly after. Parking is easy and plentiful, and the Visitor Center is very easy to find. There are restrooms, snacks, picnic areas, and everything we need conveniently located right at the trailhead.

The Huckleberry Trail is about 3.5 miles and typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. This is considered a “moderate” hike, but most of the trail is actually very easy with gradual elevation changes and well-maintained paths. The most challenging section is right at the beginning — and even that is very manageable. We’ll take breaks whenever needed, and nobody will be left behind. Beginners are absolutely welcome!

The trail features:
✨ Peaceful wooded scenery
✨ A beautiful waterfall
✨ Wooden bridges
✨ A scenic dam
✨ Plenty of shade throughout most of the hike

After the hike, we’ll relax together with a picnic lunch at the picnic tables near the Visitor Center.

I’ll be bringing chicken salad sandwiches for everyone! Feel free to bring something to share if you’d like — chips, fruit, desserts, drinks, pasta salad, etc. If you plan to bring something, please comment in the chat area so we can coordinate.

What to bring:
💧 Water for the hike
🥾 Comfortable walking shoes
🧺 Optional picnic item to share
😊 A relaxed attitude and willingness to have fun

This meetup is completely FREE.

Whether you come regularly or have been thinking about joining us for the first time, this is a great event to jump in. The pace will be friendly and relaxed, and it’s a wonderful chance to enjoy nature, conversation, and a fun morning together.

Hope to see lots of new faces there!
