Short & Longer Hike at Hillsborough River State Park
Details
Wes Calhoun will lead a hike starting from the Smoke House Pavilion/Pavilion #12 at 8:30am. The hike will be in two parts. Part one will be a 1.2-mile hike on the Baynard Trail. We will cross the river on the suspension bridge twice on this hike. Part two will be a 4.4-mile hike from the pavilion to the end of the Wetlands Trail and back. Part two will start around 9am at the Smoke House Pavilion. Join us for either or both hikes.
The park gates open at 8am. Arrive early as there may be a line of cars waiting to enter. There is a $6 per car entrance fee; $4 if driving in alone. Go to parking lot #3 and walk to the Smoke House Pavilion/Pavilion #12. It's the pavilion with the chimney. There will be a hike sign-in sheet there. See photos for a park map.
After the hike feel free to stay for the Stone Soup Potluck, a short FTA Suncoast Chapter meeting, a camping gear auction/chapter fund-raiser, and a croquet match. Please note: there are some special requirements to participate in the potluck.
