Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO)

The hike begins at the RFK Armory metro stop on the Blue Line. We will walk through the area of the RFK redevelopment site to view the area under consideration for development and discuss the neighborhood context of the site, sustainable development opportunities, and existing features such as the Fields at RFK. As we approach the entrance to Kingman Island Park we will discuss limitations of the site such as the flood plain and designated riparian area and open space. We will cross over the Kingman Island bridge and tour the meadow and wetland restoration sites, as well as hike through various wildlife habitat. We will observe various birds and may see river otters or beaver.
Good idea to bring water. The trail may be muddy so wear suitable shoes or boots.

Come take a mindful and sensory meander along the Monocacy River to let the forest & water be our guides. This is a nature connection experience along the 'river of many bends.' Pace of this 3 - 4 mile hike will be unhurried along paved and dirt trails that move between tree canopy and river's edge. There are a few small hills to navigate. We will have time to be social while also experiencing social silence along with a short nature meditation by the river. Bring: water, snacks, bug repellant, sunblock, something to sit on, good walking footwear & appropriate clothing for weather
Location is 1801 Monocacy Blvd, Frederick, MD 21701, USA. We will meet under the bridge at The Riverside Boat Ramp parking lot off of Monocacy Blvd. Parking lot is on same side of street as the At Home Store and across from Dunkin Donuts.
