Thursday Mar 19, 2020 - Birdsboro Watershed

LES will lead a 5 to 6 mile hike in the Birdsboro Watershed. This hike enters a section visited very infrequently since the trails are visible only at this time of year and become impassible during the growing season. There will be some tough hills and rutted trails.

MEET: 10:00 AM at the 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.
GPS: 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 at the sign for Hillcrest Hall Bingo (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 with questions

HAPPY 1st DAY OF SPRING!
