Jun 11, 9 AM ~ Oregon Hill Overlook - Chapel Island Hike

This hike begins at the Oregon Hill Overlook near the intersection of South Laurel Street and Oregon Hill Parkway. We will follow Tredegar Street to Brown's Island and take the Canal Walk to the Pipeline. After crossing 14th Street we will follow the Capital Trail to the Great Shiplock Park. Here we will access Chapel Island and begin our return to the starting point by way of the Mayo Bridge, the Flood Wall, Buttermilk Trail East and the Lee Bridge

This is a hike of approximately 4.5 miles over improved woodland trails, paved surfaces and, in places, barely discernible trails.
