5.7 strenuous miles

We will hike the Turtle Trail loop in French Creek State Park. The trail is narrow and rocky; hiking boots (not shoes) are recommended. If you have hiking poles, bring them. Rain or light snow DOES NOT cancel this hike. We can have lunch afterwards if you would like.

Meeting place: 9:30 a.m. on the parking lot in French Creek State Park
Directions: Follow Rte 422 East, turn right on Rte 345 south to Birdsboro, turn left onto East Main St., then right on Chestnut and continue to FCSP. Turn right onto Park Road and drive past Scotts Run, Hopewell Lake, and the Park office. About 0.4 miles past the office, turn left into the parking lot next to South Entrance Road. This is NOT the boat ramp parking lot.
