Clinton Social

As you may be aware the Spruce Run Reservoir in Clinton, NJ is at a very low water level due to dam reconstruction. It is at or near a record low water level which exposes old roads, bridges and other points of interest.

We will hike at the waters' edge for approximately 5-6 miles. Expect less than 100 feet of elevation gain. There are also multiple ways to shorten the hike for those that want a shorter 3 or 4 mile hike.

There will be floating docks resting on dry ground, as well as other interesting things. We will see things normally available only to scuba divers. Exposed building foundations and a silo foundation are visible. We will also see a paved section of the old Van Syckel's Rd along with a small bridge, that is normally underwater. There are many exposed stumps from when the valley was originally flooded around 1965.
The weather for Friday is expected to be in the 50's. Rain is expected after 3pm but we should be out of there before that. We will experience a breeze, since there are no trees at the water line to break the wind. Wear shoes or hiking boots that can handle some mud, since we will be walking on the bottom of the reservoir. We will stop for a quick lunch or snack about the half-way point. There are modern rest rooms at the beginning (& end of the hike).

We will meet by the Boat Launch area (Not the boat rental area). Upon passing the admission gate, make the first left and continue to the end of the road and park by the rest room building.

This will also be cross posted on the Bucks Hunterdon, Clinton Social, and NJ Outdoors Social Meetup Groups. Please sign up in only one place.
