Thursday May 6, 2010 - Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area

Ellen K., KATHY H. & KAY W. will lead a hike to Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area, Elkton, MD. This horse farm was once owned by the DuPont family of Delaware. Today it contains over 100 miles of equestrian/bike/hike trails. Keep in mind that horses have the right of way. Our hike will be exactly 5.5 miles and will begin by crossing over a historic covered bridge and trek through a forest and

historic farm roads. There are a few short hills to negotiate for our “pleasure”. The Three Hikerteers hope you join them for lunch, since they have discovered another great eating place. They enjoyed the reasonably priced soup and salad bar, but if it is a meal you wish, the restaurant offers a varied menu. Great coffee too!


Meeting place: 9:00 A.M. @ the Dollar Store in Kenhorst Shopping Plaza, Junctions 625 and 724, to carpool.


Note: The drive is approximately 53 miles from the meeting point to the trailhead via a lovely drive through southern Pennsylvania. There is a parking fee of $4.00 per car.

Contacts: Ellen 610-775-2677, Kathy 610-603-9461 or Kay

610-796-7602.
