6.5-7 miles BRISK FAST walk Monroe bike trail at Williamstown end (Owens Park)

For this hike, we will head out from Owens Park in Williamstown (right next to the Williamstown HS). We will walk around the park trails a bit, then head over to the Monroe trail. This trail accommodates runners, walkers and bike riders. There will be 1 major road crossing at Tuckahoe Road. Depending on conditions, I may go off on some side paths occasionally. The total distance will be around 6.5 to 7 miles, maybe longer if we feel up to exploring further. The pace will be a moderate pace at 19-21 minutes per mile or 3-3.25.

This is a MODERATE ON THE FAST SIDE pace. If you can manage 3 miles in 1 hour without stopping you should be fine.

Please use any tick or insect prevention you feel comfortable with. Please also wear hats and sunglasses and have sufficient hydration.

Only paid members of OCSJ are allowed on hike.

No pets allowed.

Thankfully, there are bathrooms port a potties at the beginning.

Arrive at 945am. Plan to start on time at 10 am. There is plenty of parking in the lots. I will be beside a black Honda Pilot. I have a long blonde braid.

Will cancel by 7am for inclement weather.
