Thursday September 13, 2012 - Birdsboro Watershed

LES will lead his oft rained out hike of 5.5 to 6.0 miles in the Birdsboro Watershed. The hike will begin from the Rustic Picnic Park (parking lot south of Birdsboro where the Hay Creek washed out the old Route 82) and continue to the scenic Birdsboro Reservoir. On the return mostly different trails will be used, although some retracing of steps will occur. Be prepared for hilly and some rocky footing at times. If the group desires we could encircle the reservoir and add an additional half mile to this trek. Lunch is an option later. We will not be crossing the Hay Creek.

MEET: 9:00 A.M. @ Rustic Picnic Park at the wash out Rte. 82.

DIRECTIONS: Take the former Route 82 (Furnace St.) south through Birdsboro and continue to the road washout at the Hay Creek. Meet the leader in the parking lot there.

TELEPHONE: Les 610-323-1703 if any questions arise.
