Thursday Feb 2, 2017 - Schuylkill River Trail

LES will lead a 5+ mile hike consisting of 2 out and back hikes. These will be primarily on the Schuylkill River Trail, both from the Angstadt Road trailhead. The first section heads towards Gibraltar, but soon after crossing Route 724 we turn up the hill into land newly managed by French Creek State Park. After a quarter mile trek up to the power line, possibly a third of the way up the hill, we walk across the hill, then down to the Killian Rd trailhead, and returning on the Schuylkill River trail. The second loop proceeds towards Reading to investigate the remnants and location of South 9th St where it once crossed the Schuylkill River and entered Cumru Township.

MEET: 10:00 A.M. @ Angstadt Rd trailhead off Route 724.

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