What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to organize fun outdoor adventures, (backpacking, car camping, hiking, paddling, bicycling, etc.).
I set up the group and will pay for the adminstration fees myself, so people can join and see the trips posted and decide if they want to participate, without having to pay up front. If you would like to contribute toward the annual cost of $197.88, please let me know.
Trips work like this: a leader sets up a loose structure, and attendees help build out more details. Key is the idea of allowing attendees flexibility to do what they want to do - but there is a rule: if you think of something fun to do, please ask "who else wants to go?"
Key guidelines:
Keep yourself and others safe, (buddy system)
Follow Leave No Trace principles, (take only a picture, leave only a footprint)
Be inclusive
By joining this group, you agree to release trip organizers, other attendees, and the group administrator from all liability.
Happy Trails!!
Linda

See all- Burr Oak Camping Weekend -- Kayaking, Biking and Hiking OptionsBurr Oak State Park, Glouster, OH
Please join us for a fun few days of camping, hiking and kayaking, as well as biking the nearby Hockhocking-Adena paved bikeway. There are plenty of campsites still available but don't wait too long. We'll do a group potluck dinner Saturday evening. Come for all 3 nights or just 1 or 2 nights of your choosing. I've never stayed at this campground so I don't know what the facilities are like, but they do have showers and electric campsites.
Burr Oak State Park has miles of scenic hiking trails (They hold the 20-mile Mammoth March hike here each year). 664-acre Burr Oak Lake only allows motors <10hp so it provides quiet waters for paddling and lots of shoreline to explore.
The Columbus-based M.A.F.I.A. meetup group is doing a 20-mile bike ride on the Hockhocking-Adena bikeway Saturday morning which I plan to attend. Lunch afterwards at Eclipse Company Store in Athens. If you're interested in the bike ride please join and RSVP on their website: Let's Bike the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway! (They only have a few spaces left so sign up soon).
Burr Oak also has a swimming beach and an 18-hole disc golf course which is free to use. The nearby Bailey's Trail System offers over 30 miles of singletrack mountain bike trails for all skill levels which I plan to check out.
Please join us for a fun weekend! The fall colors should be starting to show. Plenty of options to explore and be active or you can lounge around the campground and enjoy the quiet. Please let me know if you have any questions.
