Itinerary:

Trena's away, but we will still play!

Come join us for a nice morning hike at Island Ford! We will enjoy many of the trails at this beautiful park. We'll move at a moderate pace as we take in the sites there!


We are parking in the first lot on your left as you enter the Park.  We aill start on time, so please arrive 10 minutes early to buy a parking pass and to meet your fellow hikers. (This park requires a $3 parking fee, so if you don't have an annual pass, be sure to bring $3 cash.)

If you bring a dog, it must be kept on leash at all times out of respect for the park laws.  It's a bad reflection on the AOC when members disregard the posted park rules.

We will pass the Visitor Center during our hike, so if needed, we can take a quick bathroom break. 

 


Required Items to Bring:

Comfortables shoes or hiking boots and Water
$3.00 or your annual pass
