Let's Give Moreau a Late Morning Go

Moreau is one of our easy-to-get-to local favorites. Great excuse to get some exercise and check out the fall foliage in great hiking weather, but without a long drive.

We will start out with the climb up to the summit which is a 2.0-mile out and back to the same parking lot trailhead starting point. Then, for those who want to get in some distance in (albeit pretty flat) we will do the 4.0-mile Mud Pond and Moreau Lake loop.

This hike is considered low-moderate, but we will be strive to go at a healthy pace. The summit trail has a couple small technical parts and mostly single file sections. But it is pretty much a steady gradual climb, that will get the heart rate up. Therefore you must be physically fit enough to complete it at an intermediate pace!! (No kids under age for this one).

The trails can be popular in good weather, and there are lots of different trailheads in the park. But we will be meeting in the parking lot by the swimming beach’s nature/center lifeguard buildings as there is a ton of parking at that spot. There are also a couple porta-potties as the buildings are not open this time of year.

We will meet at the parking area at 11:30am and leave for the hike at 11:45am sharp.

PLEASE BRING: Water (or Coca-Cola) and snacks. Wear non-cotton layers. While rain isn’t expected be prepared if it does, with a rain poncho or waterproof jacket.
If you have any other questions on this hike please feel free to message me (Alec).
