Lake Audubon & Glade Stream Valley! An Easy 4.5-Mile Sneaker Hike
Details
Hike at Lake Audubon and Glade Stream Valley! A Newbie Friendly and Very Easy 4.5-Mile Social Sneaker Hike
Join Mid-Atlantic Hiking Group for a hike featuring both the tranquil Lake Audubon and the peaceful Glade Stream Valley Park.
Lake Audubon offers a chance to see great blue herons, little green herons, mallards, and other waterfowl, and is usually skimmed by a host of darting swallows.
The Glade Stream Valley is a surprising haven for wildlife in an urban setting. On our treks here, I have seen a red fox, barred owls, hawks, woodpeckers, deer, and a variety of songbirds, including eastern bluebirds, goldfinches, and even a scarlet tanager.
