Saturday January 25, 2024 - French Creek / Shed Road

6.75 mile oval loop                                    

From Shed Rd we will cross Rt. 345 and hike Lenape trail to Collier Trail, hike through Hopewell Village where we’ll have a modern bathroom break, a short walk on Hopewell Road to Buzzards Trail, Raccoon Trail and then the outer perimeter of Mill creek trail via Millers Point, to Lenape to cross Shed Road to go back to our cars. There is a long gradual hill towards the end of the hike, so we could possibly be bribed to reverse the direction of this hike. But there will still be 1024’ of elevation gain….

Extreme weather cancels this hike. Wear orange since hunting could take place in some permitted areas of the park. Bring lunch and a chair for lunch together after the hike or we can find a warm indoor spot/ restaurant.                                                  

Meeting place: 10 AM Shed Road parking lot, French Creek SP, 1028 Shed Road, Douglassville, PA 19518                                

GPS: [40.217003, -75.7754744 approximate location]
