Description: Afternoon Hike

Location: Pickwick Landing State Park

Join Interpretive Ranger Rachel for a recreational hike along the Island Loop Trail! We'll start at the trailhead next to Cabin #9. We'll get some steps in and chat along the way we'll chat about nature and history. The main trail is an approximately 2.1 mile loop, there is an option to add another half mile if all participants are interested.

Sturdy walking shoes, water, and any needed snacks are recommended. Dress warm, it is often windy and cold near the shoreline this time of year.
