Saturday July 23 - Egelman's Park & Antietam Lake

6.5 to 7 miles


This will be a loop hike of moderate difficulty from Egelman’s Park to Antietam Lake. We will take the yellow blaze trail most of the way to Antietam Lake. The return will be by a different route, paralleling an orchard at one point, passing Kuegler’s Roost (the 2nd stone cellar of the day), and passing just behind the tower before our return.

Meeting place: 9:30 am, Egelman’s Park, Hill and Angora Roads
