Description:
We will meet at 9:45A.M. and start hiking at 10:00 am and return around 12:00 pm. We will meet at the "FISHING ACCESS" parking lot on Union Street just 60 ft south of the railroad tracks (2nd driveway on the west side after the railroad track). Follow the link above at "where:" if you are unfamiliar with this parking lot. A picture of the entrance is included, it is along side a house. We'll hike about 2 hours through the almost flat terrain of the Oatka Creek Park. The first part of the hybrid hike will be along the creek. The second part of the hike will be deeper in to the park.
Our hybrid hike consists of 2 hikes that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1-hour easier hike at a slower pace with less elevation change, then continue with the 2nd hike for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.

The Hikes are offered as a benefit to current and potential new members of ADK. All our hikes have a steady pace, so are not "nature strolls" but they are also not "endurance tests", although we do at times hike at a brisk pace. You'll always want to bring lunch and plenty to drink. Equally important, is the proper footwear, gear and clothing for changing conditions. Our hikes our planned by our leaders to last three hours, but many times unexpected delays can occur, so If you are pressed for time, this hike may not be a good fit. .We're always looking for new places to go and additional leaders. Minors are welcome when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If not, the responsible adult must have the signed release which is available on our website. Dogs are not allowed on this hike. |
