DESCRIPTION
Join us as we take in the stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay and Bridge from Terrapin Park and then walk the Cross-Island Trail. Some woods, some roadside; never too far from the Bay. Lunch will be at the picturesque The Narrows restaurant on the water ($20-30). There are gas stations along the way for people to get a snack or a drink or use the facilities. Mainly pavement, although the initial part in Terrapin Park can be a very muddy, wet dirt trail - hiking boots recommended. 15 long miles.

WHERE TO MEET

Two options:

Option #1: Forest Glen Metro at 8:30, if you want to carpool (either drive or ride). Leader will be at the carpool location. Neither the Club nor the hike leaders are responsible for coordinating transportation to/from the trailhead. Hikers are not guaranteed to get a ride to the trailhead from the carpool location. Carpooling is organized by the participants, and they participate at their own risk. Suggested carpool fee: $10.

Option #2: Trailhead at Terrapin Park at 9:30: Terrapin Nature Park lot on Log Canoe Circle (38.989942, -76.320481). Cross Bay Bridge, take the first exit, turn left on Business Parkway, turn left on Skipjack Parkway, and turn left again at stop sign on Log Canoe Circle. Go a short distance and you will see the lot on your left.
