Tuesday 9:30 hike Holmdel Park

Holmdel Park
The plan is to do about 6 miles on the trails at Holmdel Park - at a moderate to BRISK (3 mph) pace - goal is to finish about 6 miles in about 2 hours. Please know your abilities! Our insurance covers you if you can maintain the advertised pace and stay between the leader and sweep. On this hike: Expect flat to rolling to hilly terrain - with a couple of longer, steeper hills. Trails vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields, stream and pond views. Also plenty of wildlife, but depends on the weather and season. These trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles if you think you’ll need them. Things to bring: Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will meet in the first parking area at Holmdel Park - in front of the Shelter Building (restrooms) and next to the pond. Please arrive at least a few minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others, hear safety talk. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack. If necessary, on morning of hike, my cell is: 732-433-8343.
