This is an 11.5 mile hike with minimal elevation changes. We'll start at the field house in back of South Run Recreation Center in Springfield. There's plenty of parking. We'll go around Burke Lake and stop for a snack. Then come back and go around Lake Mercer then return to the Recreation Center. We'll hike at about 2.5 MPH.

The only challenge to this hike will be the distance and staying upright...most of the paths are packed with snow and ice. So wear your micro spikes if you are concerned about slipping.
