Approximately 4.5 miles - Moderate
Bev F. will lead this hike. The 3-mile loop has slight hills with blacktop and pathway mixed surfaces. There are also boardwalks through the marsh/wetlands (1.25 miles).
NOTE: The Park is surrounded by industry and major highways. This will not be a quiet walk in the woods but it's a very interesting place. We will see Art in the Wild while hiking. The works of art are composed of mostly natural materials to blend with Wildwood’s natural setting. The hike will start and end at the Olewine Nature Center. There are interesting exhibits and a wildlife observation deck.
MapQuest has the traveling time of an hour from Reading and 30 minutes from Fredericksburg.
