Wednesday 10am hike Shark River Park

Shark River Park

This is one of my favorite parks for variety! The plan is to do about 6 miles on the trails at Shark River Park - at a mostly BRISK (3 mph) pace - goal is to finish in about 2 hours. We will cover most of the trails, including Rivers Edge! 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 some flat trails - but also a number with hilly terrain - a couple of longer, steeper hills. Trails vary from dirt single track to many that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of trees, boardwalks, bridges, streams, some open field and longer views. Also plenty of wildlife, wild blooms, wild mushrooms - depends on the weather and season. Beautiful, peaceful woods. The trails here 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 parking area off 1101 Schoolhouse Rd, Wall. Near the Shelter Bldg(restrooms). 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
