North Park Hiking - A

Lifelong Learning | FULL (Membership Required)

Join the instructor to explore different areas of North Park each week. We may check out the Fountain of Youth, Latodami Nature Reserve, Irwin Run Conservation area, and the Rachel Carson Trail. Along the way we will talk about the different trees, plants, mushrooms and birdlife at the park. We will walk on trails that have rocks, roots, uneven terrain, hills, and we will cover up to 2 miles. Hiking or trail shoes are recommended. Also, hiking poles or a walking stick is helpful. Prepare for all weather conditions.

There are two sections of this course to choose from in the fall term and members may select one. For those who previously attended this course, some hike start locations may be repeated but others will be explored as well.
