Ah, Cheesequake Park where the trails are covered with cheesecake. Not really so we usually provide some free cheesecake before when you arrive to celebrate the free parking this year.before July 1 and after Labor Day.
Meet at the Lake Parking lot in front of flagpole (see photos)

* NOT AT THE TRAILHEAD PARKING LOT - NOT ENOUGH ROOM THERE USUALLY. Follow road past trailhead lot and bear left toward lake (see above photos)

There's also porta potties available and perhaps the bathrooms will also be open now.

I can promise you will get a good workout in only 4 miles.
Please do the 3.0 mile option if you are out of shape or otherwise as the 4.2 mile one has significant hills and steps. See below photos of what to expect. Mostly well maintained wide trails with roots and some hills and one spot needing to walk on logs to cross. Steps on some of the hills.

We'll eat either at Evans Restaurant, nice greek owners and diner style with full menu & reasonable prices

As usual, bring water, bug spray, and another snack if you want. Boots always best. Poles may help some. We will keep it simple and cook burgers (including veggie) and hot dogs on this one as well as supplementing with subs, salads, chicken, pizza etc. Please post what you can bring. Please step up and don't wait until the last minute.

As usual our disclaimer (see "About") applies in this and all group activities.

As always, happy trails to you. (courtesy of Roy Rodgers)
