Itinerary:

Jones Bridge has an excellent system of trails which can be combined to provide five miles or so of hiking. Much of our hike will be along the river, but a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods. There will be a few hills you will need to climb but nothing with over a 100 foot elevation gain. There is also a good chance you will see some deer in the more isolated parts of this park. Due to the many possible side trails at the Jones Bridge Unit, it is important that we remain together fairly closely as a group.

There are bathrooms at this location.  And be sure to bring $5 for parking if you don't have an annual pass.


Required Items to Bring:

Water
Walking shoes

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
