Location: Burr oak state park

Let's hike at Burr oak state park. Some of our hike will be on the Buckeye trail and a little of the American Discovery trail. This hike is meant to be a scenic hike but will have some rolling hills in rugged woods. The hike will be approximately an 8.5 mile loop with about 2000 ft of climb overall. Afterwards we'll meet up for a late lunch/dinner at the lodge restaurant. The hiking speed will be 2.5-3mph. There are some moderate/difficult climbs, but plenty of downhills and level stretches to allow recovery. We will have one stop just over halfway to rest near the boat dock #3.

We'll plan to start the hike at the trailhead at 10 AM. Depending on the group size and pace we'll be on the trail for ~4 hours, so be sure to bring plenty of water as well as snacks. Hiking shoes or boots are highly recommended. You may want to bring extra shoes and socks just for the car ride home. Dress appropriately for the weather, and of course, bring a camera.

DIRECTIONS TO TRAILHEAD: Follow US 33 S to Nelsonville. Turn left onto state rte 78 towards state rte 13. Follow signs toward the lodge.

Disclaimer: be aware this will NOT be an easy hike. Over 8 miles of rugged trails with some steep climbs. The natural beauty of the area and the sense of accomplishment when you are finished make this hike worth it.
