Details
🍔 🍟 🍦 Optional lunch afterwards at a nearby Shake Shack
This trail difficulty is considered moderate.
PARKING: is in the parking lot next to the Dog Park off Sweet Hollow Rd, Melville at these coordinates: 40.801559,-73.421266
This will be one of our longest hikes of the season, so make sure you're prepared and equipped to do upwards of 7 miles. We're going to do both the purple and orange loops which should be a total of between 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 mi.
***However, after we do the first Loop you have the option to end your hike at about the halfway mark instead of continuing on to do the second half.
When you arrive in the parking lot, look for me, Greg. I'll be holding my sign-in clipboard standing near my big red GMC pickup truck.
SUGGESTIONS: For this hike, I recommend shorts or long pants and shoes with good treads, water to keep hydrated and, if you like, a snack to keep you energized.
ALERT! Since it's officially bug season, insect repellent is also recommended and it's a good idea to check yourself for ticks at the end of the hike before you get back into your car.
REMINDER: New attendees to my Spring thru Summer hiking season are required to pay a $5.00 semi-annual fee to cover my planning, preparation and Meetup.com's exorbitant fees. This fee will cover you for all future hikes up through August 2026.
Generous donations are also appreciated.
Please, if you RSVP, DON'T BE A NO SHOW!
