LES will lead a hike of about 6 miles through the Birdsboro Watershed. We will pass the two less scenic lakes in the Watershed and will walk along both sides of the Hay Creek. The hike will begin on the Geigertown side of the Watershed on Hay Creek Rd., then cross the Hay Creek and walk along this scenic creek until we take a trail to the first lake. We follow trails on the hill to the wire bridge at Hay Creek leading to Rustic Picnic Park south of Birdsboro. We do not cross this bridge, but partially retrace our steps by taking a trail to the lake adjacent to the rock climbing area. The last leg of the hike will be on old route 82 aside the Hay Creek back to our starting point. Dress for the weather, wear good boots and orange blaze and carry water.
1st MEET: 9:30 A.M. @ the parking area for the Thun Trail in Gibralter across Route 724 from Turkey Hill.
2nd MEET: 9:50 A.M. @ the parking area across from an old stone house on Hay Creek Rd. (the washed out former route 82). From Geigertown at the intersection of Geigertown Rd. and Hay Creek Rd., this is about 2.8 miles toward Birdsboro. Traveling from the intersection of Hay Creek Rd. and Mullen Hollow Rd., this is about 0.8 mile toward Birdsboro on the former route 82.
TELEPHONE: Les 610-323-1703 with questions.
