Time: Summer: May through September 9:00 am

Is it a social activity or is it an exercise program? You be the judge. Come join in the camaraderie and meet interesting new people while getting a little exercise in the process. We meet weekly on Friday mornings, generally at Pen Park (click on link for map), but sometimes we’ll head off and explore some of the other wonderful parks in the area. Additional adventures may include having a picnic or heading off to a restaurant or coffee after the hike. Be sure to check the Special Activities section listed below for our off-site hikes & dates.
This activity is ideal for folks of average physical condition. We explore some of the many trails the parks have to offer and will be walking on mostly unpaved trails. The pace and difficulty level would be considered moderate and will involve walking up and down some hills. A typical hike averages around 2 ¼ miles and lasts around an hour.
Join others at the same level of physical fitness and have a good time outdoors! Feel free to bring a friend, they're welcome to join us! Email Gary for details and any questions you have.

Special Activities:
Boars Head Resort – Friday, February 6th (rain/snow date Friday, February 13th)
We’re going upscale this month at Boar’s Head Resort! Boar's Head Location. They have some nice hiking trails available, with both paved and unpaved areas passing by lakes and through meadows and woodlands. If the weather is nice, we’ll head out on the unpaved trails past the golf course to an old cemetery and a couple of scenic ponds. If the weather is less than ideal (or if some of you are looking for a less challenging hike,) we can still have a good hike on the paved surfaces. Meet in the parking lot of the main building and choose your footwear accordingly.
After hiking, join us for lunch in the Mill Room, which is located in the main building. Mill Room Lunch Menu Please RSVP for lunch so I can make a reservation ahead of time.
Open to all.
