Thursday Jan 25, 2018 - Birdsboro Watershed

Les will lead a 5.5 mile hike mostly in the Birdsboro Watershed. The hike begins with a road walk of close to 2 miles. The Horseshoe Trail will be used to enter the watershed. Local trails take us to the scenic reservoir surrounded by pines. We return via a closed section of the old Route 82. Snowy or icy roads cancel this event.

MEET: 10:00 AM @ the parking area on Hay Creek Rd (former Route 82), north of Geigertown, .8 mile north of where Mullen Hollow Rd intersects with Hay Creek Rd.
GPS: Go to 2 Elk Trail Lane, Birdsboro, then stay on Hay Creek Rd another .1 mile

DIRECTIONS: From the traffic light in Gibraltar at the Turkey Hill, travel east on Route 724, take the first right turn (about 1.2 miles), 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: Leader Les 610-323-1703, Cell 610-850-1855 with questions.
