Please join me for an Island Ford hike this Thursday!  We will hit all the hotspots (warm-up hill, lollipop, along the river, etc).

This is not a hike for beginners! 

 

We will meet in the middle parking lot called Hewlett Pond parking.  If you pass the pond on your right, you have gone a bit too far.  Don't forget there is a $5 fee for parking unless you have an annual pass from CRNRA to display in your window.  

Thee is no bathroom in this parking lot.
