Apr 29, 9 AM ~ Oregon Hill Overlook to Potterfield Bridge
Details
This 3.5 mile hike begins at the Oregon Hill Overlook located near the intersection of South Laurel Street and Oregon Hill Parkway. We will cross the river to Belle Isle and gain the south shore of the river after taking a loop around the west end of Belle Isle. At 22nd Street we will pick up the Buttermilk Trail and follow it east to the Potterfield Bridge. After we cross to Brown's Island on the Potterfield Bridge we will follow Tredegar Street back to our starting point.
This is a hike mostly over paved surfaces and improved woodland trails and there are few obstacles that will challenge your hiking skills. This hike will begin at the posted time, not five or ten minutes later. If you need help on directions, click on the arrow (How to find us) to display a larger interactive map. When "Directions" is selected, the best route from your current location to the Meet Up rendezvous spot will be calculated for you.
Participants should be able to maintain a pace of 2.5 miles per hour. There is no parking lot. Curbside parking is available on one side of Oregon Hill Parkway and on S. Laurel and S. Pine Streets.
• What to bring
Water bottle, clothing appropriate for the season, a cap, visor or bonnet, practical footwear, band aids, aspirin, insect repellant & extra shoe laces are recommended. I like to bring a dry top for after the hike.
• Important to know
- Rudimentary Restroom facilities are available at the Tredegar Parking Lot and on Belle Isle.
