Spring into spring while enjoying Antietam Lake and the surrounding falls. Starting at the Angora Road Trailhead, we will take the lower muddy trail to view the scenic falls to the Seidel Road Trailhead. We will then check out the Stone Walled Creek area which was originally the Hinnershitz Farm, barn, grist mill, and basin. The return will be on the drier upper trail. Expect mud so waterproof boots and poles are recommended. Optional lunch after the hike. Rain cancels.
