What we’re about
Do you love Hiking and Adventures?
Welcome to Mt Juliet / Wilson County Hiking Meetup Group. We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, kayaking, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page.
Adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.
Adventures are closer than you think!

Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.).

Hike Leader: Ranger LeslieIt's time for our annual trip to Frog Town! Many species of frogs make Long Hunter their home, and summer evenings are the ideal time to listen for their sounds.
Join Ranger Leslie for an easy one-mile stroll on the Couchville Lake Trail to learn about our frog species. We'll walk quietly and listen for their calls -- and perhaps even see a few. There are many interesting ponds and sinkholes here where frogs are often found. If the group is willing, we may also investigate an area known as Frog Town for its wide assortment of frog species.
Insect repellent is recommended, and feel free to bring a light source and camera as well.
No pets, please.
Note: We're posting this event here to give Meetup members first dibs. The hike is limited to the first 12 people who sign up on the park website. Once the event is full, the park website will say "Sold Out" and won't allow anymore signups. Thank you!
Directions:
Enter Long Hunter State Park at the main park entrance (2910 Hobson Pike) and then take the first left (which is the Couchville Lake Area) and proceed to the parking lot beside Couchville Lake.
