Off The Beaten Trail Hiking Group

What to Expect:

Welcome to Off The Beaten Trail Hiking Group!

Our hiking group hikes many of the popular trails in Nassau and Western Suffolk. However, I will put an emphasis on finding lesser known paths and trails that are hidden or less traveled. Don't worry, we rarely go into the brush, but we definitely try to avoid the beaten path whenever possible. Most hiking distances will be between 3 and 8 miles.
We may occasionally schedule a not-too-far upstate hike as well.

Participant Dues: Every 6 months we require any member attending an event to pay a one time $5.00 fee to cover event organizing and planning as well as Meetup's admin fees.

Who can and should join:

All ages are welcome. Hiking shoes with good treads are highly recommended. Although most trails are not too challenging, some trails can be hilly and somewhat steep so being physically fit will be to your advantage. For Spring, Summer and Fall hikes I recommend bringing water(especially when it's warm), a snack and to douse any exposed skin with bug spray.

Benefits:

Meeting fellow hiking enthusiasts, having good conversations, making new friends, exploring dozens of great Long Island trails, and getting healthy exercise.

Thank you for joining our group. I look forward to seeing you on the trail.

Best Wishes,

Greg Legakis
Group Leader and Event Organizer
