Saturday May 28, 2022 - Monacacy Hill Recreation Area

 5 Moderately Difficult miles

Join our group as we hike through some of the well-marked trails of the Monocacy Hill’s 428 acres. We will be going down to the creek with the charming waterfall and up to the peak with the beautiful views of the valley. We may also go by landmarks like the never-used railroad trestle and the homestead of Sallie Shirey. Hiking boots and poles are recommended as the climb is a bit rocky. For those who don’t wish to climb to the peak, an alternative path that meets up on the other side is a possibility. 

Lunch at Vincenzo’s after hike https://www.vincenzosristorante.org/ 1333 Old Swede Rd, Douglassville 610-689-8000.

Meeting place: 9:30 AM in Geiger Rd parking lot. Parking in lot is limited – you may need to park on the road leading to the lot or around the corner – but always on the side next to the recreation area. Do not park across the street where there are residents’ houses.

Directions: From 422 coming from Reading use the jug-handle to turn left onto Limekiln Rd. Turn right onto Monocacy Hill Rd, right again onto Geiger Rd and right into the parking lot.
