Wednesday 10am hike at Turkey Swamp Park

Turkey Swamp

• Let’s do about 6 miles on the trails at Turkey Swamp Park - at a BRISK (3 mph) pace - goal is to finish about 6 miles in approx. 2 hours. This hike comprises trails in a park that tie together two significant rivers: Metedeconk, Manasquan. Expect flat to rolling terrain - a few muddy areas. Trails vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields, stream and lake views. Also plenty of wildlife, but depends on the weather and season. The trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles if you think you’ll need them. Things to bring: Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will meet in the parking area on the left - about .3 mile off main entrance from Georgia Road - in front of the Shelter Building (restrooms) and next to the lake. Address is: 200 Georgia Road, Freehold Township, NJ. Please arrive a few to 15 minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack. Hope to see you there!
