Name: South Mountain Reservation, Hemlock Falls Trail
Start: 2025-09-21T13:45:00.000Z
Location: Pennsylvania Station

This is a new hike (ok walk). It’s designed as an early morning walk to beat the heat. We will meet at Carl Schurz Park right at 86th Street and West End Avenue. We will head north and cross Wards Island bridge to Randals/Wards Island. We will walk along the Harlem River Pathway and Wards Island Greenway. Hopefully being along the water will minimize the August heat.

We will start early at 9:00, and the walk will end around noon.

Wear good walking shoes and bring plenty of water. Snacks would be good too.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Queer Hikers!

Rescheduling this. Hopefully we won't be rained out or roasted out.

This is a easy convenient hike very accessible from Penn Station. The trail head is an easy walk from the Millburn train station. We will follow the Hemlock Falls trail through some varied terrain. There are a few small waterfalls and then a larger one at the end. The trail can be rocky and portions will be steep so make sure you are in good shape. Expect an eight mile hike.

Below is an Alltrails link:

We will meet at the NJ Transit hub at Penn Station at 9:45 and catch the 10:11 to Millburn, NJ. The trailhead is close to the station. I suspect we will be back to Penn Station before 5:00.

Be prepared for steep inclines, rocky trails, and maybe a marshy water crossing. Wear hiking boots and bring a packed lunch and plenty of water.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.
