Thursday July 23, 2015 - Birdsboro Watershed

LES will lead a hike of about 6.25 miles through the lower end of the Birdsboro Watershed. We begin on the Geigertown side of the Watershed on Hay Creek Rd and walk away from the watershed on roads for about 1 3/4 miles until reaching the Horseshoe Trail. The Horseshoe Trail takes us into the watershed. Local trails are used to arrive at the reservoir, from which we head back to the starting point.

MEET: 9:30 AM @ parking area on Hay Creek Rd (former Route 82), north of Geigertown, .8 mile north of where Mullen Hollow Rd ends at Hay Creek Rd.

DIRECTIONS: From the traffic light in Gibralter at the Turkey Hill, travel east on Route 724 1.2 miles. Take the first right turn at the sign for Hillcrest Hall Bingo, cross railroad tracks, turn left on Old River Rd, then almost immediately right onto Rock Hollow Rd. Drive 2.8 miles on Rock Hollow, cross Cocalico Rd, then drive another 1.1 miles to the first stop sign at Hay Creek Rd. Turn left and drive .7 miles to the parking area.

TELEPHONE: Les 610-323-1703 with any questions.
