The hike includes varied terrain, with sloping hillsides, forests, fields, marshes, and coldwater streams. It is recommended that attendees bring drinking water and insect repellant. This hike is part of a series of free programs, open to the public, which the NRWA is offering in celebration of its 40th Anniversary.
