4.5 miles
1st LEAD HIKER will trek a moderate approximate 4.5 mile hike at Wildwood Park in Harrisburg, PA. The 3 mile loop has slight hills with blacktop and pathway mix surfaces. There are also broadwalks through the marsh/wetlands (1.25 miles). The park is surrounded by industry and major highways. This will not be a quiet walk in the woods but it's a very interesting place. We will see Art in the Wild while hiking. The works of art are composed of mostly natural materials to blend with Wildwood’s natural setting. The Olewine Nature Center will be the start/end of the hike. There are interesting exhibits and a wildlife observation deck. Optional lunch at the Front Street Diner
