Saturday March 14, 2015 - French Creek State Park




5-6 moderate miles

Come out for a late winter hike. We will take the Horse-shoe Trail and other paths in this park. The hike will take us through the Pine Swamp and if we are lucky, we will be able to hear the frogs and salamanders awakening from the winter sleep and calling for a mate, but there is no guarantee!! Perhaps we will also see the first Skunk Cabbage in the snow! Lunch after the hike is an option.

Meeting place: 10:00 am at the parking lot across from FCSP office on Park Road
