UPCOMING HIKES

Hike Announcement Bowman State Park Friday 12/5/25 9AM

Let's meet at Bowman Lake SP entrance at 9AM and do a walk-through in preparation for the First Day Hikes.

It will be cold but I hope to avert the wind by staying in the woods as much as possible. 

Hike Announcement Sunday 12/7/25 Lower Pond > Gorge to Grover Brown O&B then Lower Pond to Jackson Pond O&B

Note: Elmer Jackson Rd is partially seasonal so depending on our weather this week, carpool if necessary.

If you only want to do the first part we'll shuttle you back to your car.
