Saturday February 5, 2022 - Gibraltar Hill

6.5 to 7 difficult miles

We will access Gibraltar Hill via the Schuylkill River trail. The trails here are generally unmaintained. Expect ruts and logs across the trails. This is mostly up and down, not too much level. At this time of year there should be some good views. Snowy or icy roads will cancel this hike.

Meeting place: 10 a.m. at Angstadt Lane trailhead off Rte 724.


Directions: From Rte I-176, take Rte 724 east toward Birdsboro for one block. Take the first left onto Angstadt Lane and continue for about 2/10 mile to the trailhead parking. 

GPS: Angstadt Lane, Birdsboro [40.300137, -75.899642]
