Saturday April 30, 2022 - Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area

4 miles

Hike the Middle Creek and Elders Run Trails (loop) from the Laurel Drive parking lot. Easy walk along the scenic Middle Creek to Elders Run Trail on a former trolley bed. Elders Run Trail is a strenuous gravel uphill trail to the top of the ridge and then back down through the woods. We’ll pass the remains of the former Game Commission headquarters built in the 1930’s. Then it’s an easy trail through the forest back to the parking lot. Some areas are rocky and may be muddy. Hiking boots and poles recommended. Rain cancels.

Meeting place: 1:00 p.m. at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Laurel Drive Parking Lot. 

NOTE: This was originally a morning start until MCWM told us it’s turkey season and we can only hike at 1:00 or on Sunday. Orange shirt or vest recommended.

Directions: Take 222 to Denver then take Steinmetz Road/Mt Airy Road to Forest Hill Road. Turn right on Forest Hill Road, then left on Kleinfeltersville Road and another left onto Laurel Road. Parking lot is about 1⁄4 mile on the left.

GPS: 399 Laurel Road, Newmanstown
