See all- #14 - Gunpowder Hereford area, Explore North river - 6 miles - easy/moderate17910 York Rd, Parkton, MD
This is hike #14 of 18 in the Gunpowder Falls State Park system. This hike is rarely offered. This is the latest I can offer this in the spring since the stilt grass will be choking out the trail soon.
Please bring water, a good attitude and fun stories and conversation to share on a lovely hike!
We will probably grab lunch at a nearby restaurant after the hike.
This will be a an out and back hike along the river about 6 miles total length. There are a few small hills but the bulk of the hike is flat along the river. The trails are also not well maintained and are considered rugged.
We will meet at the parking lot on the West side of York Rd, South of the river.
There are stream crossings but I cannot recall how many. Terrain is rocks, roots, mud and washed out areas of the trail likely with a lot of overgrowth and some thorns.
Please bring plenty of water. Also bring snacks if you get hungry easily.
We will step off at 10:00AM. The standard 15 minute grace period.
Dogs are welcome on this hike but they must be well behaved and on lead at all times.
Long hiking pants are highly recommended! Sneakers can work but hiking shoes or boots are recommended.

Covid and general disclaimers....
A quick reminder that this is my hobby, I am doing this for fun and to socialize, get exercise, be in nature and meet cool new people. Please set your expectations and if you are expecting no risk and professionally run events, this may not be a good fit for you. I want to have fun and share my passion for the outdoors and I want you all to enjoy yourselves too. No bad attitudes please. :)
As with all our events please remember that you are responsible for your own safety. There are the typical risks for any outdoor event plus we are in a pandemic. I cannot eliminate all risk for those who attend this event and you must take responsibility for yourself but I will do my best to use common sense best practices to try and minimize our risks.
If you have recent symptoms of covid or any other respiratory illness or been in close proximity to those who have please do NOT come to this event.
