Hike about 4 miles at modest pace over rough, rocky (and possibly muddy) trails with a moderate climb from the Rahway River/Orange Reservoir up the west side of the First Watchung Mountain. Focus on the River's ecology and role in drinking water supply and proposals for modification of the reservoir for flood damage reduction.

Special treat: awesome wildlife visible from no other nature trail in America! What is it? You will have to come to find out!

Hiking poles recommended. Children are welcome, at your discretion. No dogs please. Steady rain cancels.

Meet at: The Clipper Pavilion on Cherry Lane in West Orange by the Regatta Playground and swan boats (aka The Waterfront), 0.4 mi south of Northfield Ave and 0.9 mi north of South Orange Ave.
