Pop Up Early Morning Hike-State Park, Trail 7, 8, & 4 (Challenging Hike)

Disclaimer: Trail 7 is considered moderate with some inclines, Mt. Tom is a 141 ft climb on sand and is challenging. If you're not used to climbing dunes, you can opt in for trail 7 only.

Let's meet at the State Park' s Nature Center just before 8:30am (8:20-ish). We will leave promptly and hike trail 7 and part of trail 8 (Mt. Tom). It will be cool in the morning so dress accordingly (layers). Hopefully that means less bugs! We will head through the forest towards the beach on Trail 7, walk along the beach to Trail 8 where we will climb up the north side of Mt. Tom. We'll return through the camp ground on trail 4 and head back to the Nature Center. This should take about an hour. Don't forget bug spray, sun screen, and water.

There is a fee to enter the State Park. https://www.in.gov/dnr/state-parks/rates-and-fees/

This should be a great start to a beautiful late summer day. I hope you can join me! -Eileen
