 HERB has mapped an easy 4-5 mile shuttle hike in the French Creek State Park area. We will walk around Mt.

There will be few hills and rocks. Lunch afterwards is an option.


MEET: 9:30 AM at the playground parking lot adjacent to Hopewell Lake Boat Ramp, off of Park Road, near the French Creek State Park Visitors Center.

Thursday Sep 30, 2021 - Ontelaunee Lake

 LES will lead a 5 mile hike near Ontelaunee Lake beginning at Kindt's Corner. We will utilize the wooded trails above West Shore Drive as far as they go, then return via West Shore Drive itself. The hike can be shortened by placing a car at the unused bridge to eliminate the road walk back to Kindt's Corner. 

MEET: 10:00 AM @ Kindt's Corner 

DIRECTIONS: Taking Route 61 north, pass Route 73, turn right at the Sheetz onto Ashley Way. Go to the Stop sign at Ontelaunee Drive, turn left. Take the first right onto Kindt's Corner Rd. Continue about 2/3 mile to the parking area on the right. Shoemakersville Rd is to the left.
