Thursday February 14, 2013 - French Creek

HERB has planned a relatively flat, easy winter, 5 to 6 mile loop hike in, and near French Creek State Park. We will walk along the south side of Hopewell Lake, pass “Beaver Cove” and check out the south shore. We plan to visit the ecologically important Pine Swamp Natural Area, walk through an abandoned primitive camping area and return to our starting point. Some of the walk will be on trails and some on park roads. The park is especially pretty in winter, if we are lucky enough to have light to moderate snow. However; heavy snow or rain would cancel this event. An optional lunch is planned afterwards. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

MEET & DEPART: 10:00 A.M. @ parking lot across from the French Creek Visitor’s Center on Park Road.
