6 Mile Loop de Loop Dupuis Hike

We will hike loops 1 and 2 (see map) for approximately 6 miles. This is a hot and strenuous hike, but worth it! There is little to no shade on the trail so a hat and plenty of water is a must! No water, no hike! So be prepared!

NOTE: This is a small game hunting area, so it's advised to wear bright clothing! Expect the trail to have overgrown vegetation, standing water and/or muddy trails. Potential guests will have to register on Meetup and RSVP separately.

Let's meet at 7:15 a.m. at the Day Use Picnic Area (formerly known as the Governor's House) grass parking lot. We will start hiking no later than 7:30 a.m. Give yourself extra time since the road into the park is a gravel road with ruts and holes that will slow you down. We start on time, so please don't be late or you will be hiking by yourself!

Public/Strenuous - We will be hiking at a good 19 min/mile clip. Please do not sign up if you cannot keep up with the group at this pace.

Items to bring:
Water - 2-3 liters
Walking stick
Hat
Snacks
Bug spray
Sunscreen
Extra pair of shoes (after hike)
Can do attitude! :)

READ! Directions within the park:
Do not rely on Google GPS! See Map for entrance to Gate 1. Once you turn into Gate 1, do not stop at the hunters cabin, just keep going straight on the gravel road approximately 1.5 miles. You will pass the Family Campground on the left. Keep going until you come to a small sign that says "Day Use Picnic Area" and turn left. Keep driving until you see the grass parking lot.
