New Venue - Shingle Creek Trail

***Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate...Keep In Mind That We Are In The Rainy Season And The Trails May Be Wet/Muddy!!!

Generally considered an easy route and is great for hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring...This is the full Shingle Creek Trail located at the Shingle Creek Reserve....This trail is intended to be multi-use and is shared by bikers and hikers...

This is a 4.6-mile loop trail near Orlando, but there is an additional trail option to connect with the Pine Island East Loop Trail at Shingle Creek in case we want to extend our mileage to 6 or 7...About midway in the hike we will stop for a lunch/snack/hydration break...

I recommend comfortable walking/hiking shoes, Deep Woods bug spray, sunscreen, fluids for hydration, snacks/food, an umbrella/hat, and your spirit of adventure and fellowship, but we do live by the creed "Hike Your Way"...Be ready to get fresh air, exercise, engage in diverse conversations, and make some new Connections!!

I realize and respect that plans can change and you may have to miss the event, I just ask that as a courtesy, You please change your RSVP from Going to Not Going in order to avoid getting flagged as a No-Show...Thank you, JAP3
