Pre Summer Workout at Baldpate Mountain/Ted Stiles Preserve

Baldpate mountain, part of the volcanic Sourland Mountain Ridge, it is the highest point in Mercer County. We will hike 8-10 miles at a MODERATE to BRISK pace with approximately 1500 feet plus of elevation. Trails range from continuous steep rocky inclines, packed dirt, heavily rooted, climbing over tree trunks and possibly fording a creek on rocks. This is a fairly challenging hike overall, NOT a beginners hike. See pictures below. Good sturdy waterproof hiking shoes and TICK repellent are a must. Be sure to look at photos below for the type of terrain we will encounter. We will also take in some history as well! There will be several short brakes and a lunch break on the banks of Fiddlers Creek.
PLEASE NOTE: Picture of old house below is where our parking area is located. Just turn into the driveway 1586 River Rd ( Rt 29). 14.5 mile marker
