Itinerary:

Ok I don't think there has been an AOC hike in the past at Collins Hill Park.  It's partly because it's not that incredibily exciting, but it does have some nice wooded trails and short hills.  if you like exploring different parks like I do, then you will enjoy this place, at least once or twice, if not more.

We will have a good walk for about 75 min....pace will be leisurely to moderate and should cover about 3.3 miles.  This park mainly has fairly wide trails, which allow for easy conversation.  

We will hike about 1 1/2 miles out from the trailhead and then turn around and back along the same route.   Then we will walk over along the lake to the southeastern boundary of the park and back to the parking area.   There are actually some good little hills in there and should be about 350 feet of ascent total, which is not bad for a little D1.  But will still be a true D1 with very moderate pace, so most anyone should be able to handle it, yet you will still get an hour of exercise and some good company as well.
