Hiking - Moraine State Park with Afternoon Swim and Picnic (Beginner) - 8 Miles

Join us for a fun and relaxing July 4th holiday weekend. We’ll spend a few hours hiking the NCT / Glacier Ridge Trial and take a dip in the lake afterwards to cool off. I also plan to bring a grill and cooler for some afternoon grillin’ and chillin’, so don’t forget a swimsuit and towel if you plan to swim and sign up for the cookout if you'd like to participate in the BBQ.

We’ll meet at the bicycle rentals and carpool to the parking area underneath the Route 528 bridge. The hike will take about four hours and then we’ll head down to the beach. I'll also bring a frisbee and if anyone wants to bring something else like bocce ball would be great too.
