Hike @ Fort Ben

We'll be getting out on the trails this Saturday with a trip to this local spot, and by next weekend, the chilly temperatures should have passed us by. We'll plan to start from the Delaware Lake parking lot, make our way across the park to hike the Lawrence Creek trail, and then return to where we began. Altogether we'll be doing around five miles.

Admission to Fort Ben is $7.

We'll meet at the parking lot next to Delaware Lake. After passing by the gatehouse, you’ll take the first right you come to and this road will take you back to the parking lot. A map of the park is located here; just scroll down to the Maps section. After arriving, look for the group of us in the parking lot.

Car Pool Info: For anyone interested in a car pooling from Bishop Chatard High School, please drop me a line.

For anyone interested in a bite to eat after the hike, we'll be going to the Panera on 56th Street right outside the park. The address is 9145 East 56th Street.

Terrain: Moderate overall; roughly 5 miles
Time: About 2 hours

See you on Saturday,
Michael
