July 12, 9:00 a.m. ~ Pocahontas State Park Hike

Hello Parkers!! We are so fortunate to have 2 wonderful state parks within driving distance with many awesome trails. So - let's hike the Co-Op Trail in Pocahontas State Park - one of my favorite hikes. It is approximately 5 miles with varied terrain and lake views. Beginner hikers are welcome. Follow signs for the Swimming Pool and Boat Launch and we will gather in front of the bathrooms with the soda machines. We will update you on any weather concerns as the date draws closer. If your plans change, please update your RSVP. Until then happy hiking - Leader Diana and Sweeper Kat.
