Thursday Apr 28, 2016 - Roaring Creek

LES will lead a hike of about 8.5 miles in the Roaring Creek Valley watershed in Columbia County. Three lakes adjoin an 8 mile trail that runs from Route 42 to Route 54. Last year we began from Route 42 and went halfway. This time we begin from Route 54, go in, and then retrace our steps to the starting point. This is a relatively flat walk on a wide trail at the base of two mountains, somewhat similar to Gold Mine Rd. For those looking for a shorter walk, it is easy to turn around. There are picnic tables and benches along the way. Inclement weather will cause this hike to be deferred, and a hike at Blue Marsh will be substituted. Optional restaurant stop after hiking.

MEET: 8:30 A.M. @ Blue Marsh Church Road lot off Route 183. From here there will be a drive
of about 1 hour 15 minutes to reach the starting point.

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