We'll gather at the trailhead on Rea Road near Piper Glen, at the end of the greenway parking lot (where the colorful outdoor chairs are). From there it's a gentle walk on a combination of concrete and wooden boardwalks.
Route:
We'll go from the meeting spot, 2.5 miles in (somewhat past Pike's Nurseries, to the 3.25 mile marker), then stop for a short break, turn around and head back. Roundtrip distance will be approximately 5 miles. There is almost no elevation. Optional gathering afterwards at Starbucks.
Notable Wildlife:
Barred Owls, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Pileated Woodpecker, Frogs, Red-tailed Hawk, Deer and on rare occasions Beaver.
Park Rules:
Walkers must stay to the right and center of the trail. Dogs are allowed if they are well behaved and stay to the far right. Beware of bikers and runners on the left side.
Difficulty and Pace:
Make sure you are able to walk a brisk 5 miles at a 4 mph pace without taking multiple breaks or shortness of breath. If you are unsure please check with a doctor.
