Humpday Workout Hike - Island Lake Recreation Area
Details
This week's Humpday Workout Hike will be at Island Lake Recreation Area. Let's meet at 6:15 pm and begin hiking promptly at 6:30 pm. We will hike 5 miles on the Hickory Ridge Trail, at a moderately fast pace of about 3 mph (20 mins per mile) for approximately 2 hours.
Meeting location:
After entering the park from Kensington Rd, proceed straight ahead on Kent Lake Beach Road. We'll meet at the west end of the first parking lot, near the dropped pin marked on the link below.
Be sure to bring water to drink, hiking poles if you have them, and dress accordingly for the weather!! And don't forget your headlamps!!
Please be aware:
This is a Fitness Hike; the pace is approximately 20 minutes per mile, which includes elevation changes and a variety of uneven terrain. Our expectation is for the entire group to maintain the leader's pace, and stay together for the duration of the hike.
Park pass required:
Locations of these weekly hikes are in Michigan State Parks/Recreation Areas or Metro Parks, which require daily or annual passes. Passes can be obtained from park headquarters or toll booths at park entrances.
