Hidden Lagoon Wickecheoke (in the) Creek Walk

3.5-4 hours, 9-11 miles, brisk pace, some big hills
This is a beautiful area with trails along creek and even in the creek. Often we hike on small roads without traffic, sometimes on small trails, sometimes easy bushwhacking. We'll visit a hidden lagoon near a historic house then bop over to the very hidden Rittenhouse graveyard circa 1720.
We pass a farm with South African goats, ponies, donkeys, etc. If we stand around a bit they will all come over to the fence to be petted. Sometimes we go by a community under 300 foot cliff. Surrealistic.

Each hike here is a different experience. The creek walk is only doable if the water is low. (Photo is from Gulf Hagas Preserve in Maine.)
