Gloucester Park Trail 6.9 mile Moderate Hike

This will be roughly a 6.5-7 mile hike at a pace of 22-25 minute miles. We will be walking the perimeter. The paths are narrow. There are roots, stones, leaves. This path is used by mountain bikers but do not foresee any on the trail at this time of year.

Since this is a moderate pace, to be fair to the group, ALL hikers MUST be able to keep this pace for the entire 6.5-7 miles and hike with the group.

Highly recommend hiking boots/shoes, poles if needed. Use whatever insect prevention you feel comfortable with.

There are bathrooms located at the park. Please time your arrival so you will have time. We will be walking in the woods that are next to the park.

I will stop at mile 1 for 5 minutes for a clothing adjustments and/or water break. Mile 4.5 for a 20 minute lunch or snack. Make sure to stay hydrated during hike.

I like to start on time so please try to arrive by 845 to use bathroom if needed, any clothing adjustments, safety briefing, introduction, and any other last minute items.

Of course if inclement weather (rain, ice, falling snow), I will cancel by 7am that morning.
