Event Description

Due to the hurricane this hike has been changed from 11.4.12 to 12.2.12. If you cannot make the new date send a refund request by 11.20.12.

This 3,000 acre park, located adjacent to the D&R Canal, is an oasis of wetlands, forests, farmlands and old fields offering miles of paths for hikers, bikers and horseback riders.  Originally targeted as the site of a reservoir, the site remains open to the public to explore.  After the hike the group may go out for drinks and a late lunch.
