Brisk 5 to 9 mile Hike — Harmon Park to YMCA & opt Colonial Park in Lebanon

This is also posted with Tri-State Hiking Club.

We will do a 5-mile neighborhood hike (3 mph) on a paved trail with hills from Harmon Park to the Countryside YMCA and back from 12:00 PM-1:45 PM.

Upon returning to Harmon Park, those who want more will go ½ mile into the heart of Lebanon and do a 3-mile (somewhat exploratory) trail loop at Colonial Park and return to Harmon for an additional 4 miles (9 total).

This is a faster pace (20 minute mile).

Feel free to join us at Harmon Park at 1:45 PM if you just want to do the 4-mile hike that includes the trail from 1:45 PM-3:15 PM.

If you are only doing the 5 miles, you won't need hiking shoes. If you are continuing, we will stop by the parking lot and you can pick up poles, if you'd like, for Colonial Park where there are creek crossings. Please also check the weather and dress accordingly. The hike will be canceled in the event of hazardous weather.

We will meet at 314 S. East St., Lebanon, OH 45036 in the parking lot. If you have questions I can be reached at 513-327-8168.
