Join Gwen Haney and Karen Dansby on December 12th at 10:30 a.m. for a trail hike in Seneca Creek State Park. We will hike Greenway and Great Seneca Trail > Great Seneca Trail > Old Pond Trail> Longdraft> Mink Hollow and then a left on to Lake Shore Drive towards the bridge. The roundtrip hike is 5 miles long and takes about 2 hours. The trail is packed dirt with some rocks. Boots are recommended. Water and a snack are advised. Pretty views along Seneca Creek with a few power lines, but the beauty of the State Park enhances the hike. Easy to moderate hike.
The entrance to Seneca Creek State Park is on Clopper Road. Drive 1 mile and park on the left at Kingfisher parking lot (overflow parking at Chickadee parking lot). Please arrive on time and ready to start the hike at 10:30 a.m.
