Sunday 9am hike Cheesequake Park

Cheesequake
….let’s do 4.5-5 miles on the trails at Cheesequake Park… A moderate (2.25-2.5 mph) pace - goal is to finish in about 2 hours. On this hike: Expect a bit more than half the hike to be flat, the rest to be rolling to hilly terrain - there may be a few areas of mud. Expect a couple of longer, steeper hills. Also, some wooden walkways and stairs. Trails vary from dirt single track to wider ones that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields and some marsh, pond and stream views…. plenty of wildlife and various wild flowers … and mushrooms - depending on weather and season. The hilly trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots! So: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles if you think you’ll need them. Things to bring: Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will MEET in the first parking area on LEFT side - off the entrance road - just a few hundred feet past gatehouse and ranger building. FYI: there are restrooms on the far side of the ranger bldg. Please arrive at least a few to 15 minutes early: To gear up, use restroom, meet others. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack. This is a fun hike! We usually go to Joe’s Bagel and Grill afterwards
