Please note: the post for this hike has been moved. Start with the same directions as the original hike through Step 4.
- Park and start your hike at the round hall building. Walk to the left of the building toward the playground area.
- Go off the sidewalk into the grass and toward the swings.
- Turn left at the tree line, just below the swings, and walk across the field with the playground on your left. You are walking toward a large building.
- Walk between the building and the tree line, then pass a stone fireplace and down a small hill toward the bridge.
- Instead of crossing the bridge, turn left at the bridge and walk along the tree line.
- Walk along the tree line, behind the small buildings, and locate the post on a tree just ahead.
- Turn left and head back to the parking area to return to your vehicle.
[Even after the bridge is repaired, the post will remain at the new location throughout the remainder of the program.]
