Saturday July 9, 2016 - Antietam Lake


6.5 moderate to difficult miles

The Antietam Lake parking lots are closed this summer while improvements are being made. Let’s take a look at the progress. Starting at Egelman Park, we approach the lake area from the former fruit farm and walk above Angora Road where some of the work is being done. We will pass through the main parking lot and check on the former Nature Center. The return will take us up some steep hills, past the Vulture Rock and two stone cellars.

Meeting place: 9:30 am, Egelman Park, Hill and Angora Roads 
GPS ADRESS: about 2100 Hill Road, Reading
