Join us for a fun Friday morning hike on the DORBA trail at the Johnson Branch unit of Lake Ray Roberts State Park. Expect a few minor hills, occasional rocks, sandy areas, and some tree roots. Our route will be approximately 8.5 to 9 miles. The trail is shared with mountain bikes. *If you like bring a picnic lunch and beverage for social time after we complete the hike.*

**PACE FOR THIS HIKE:** This hike is **"at your own pace".** Our leader for this hike usually hikes the slower end of fitness pace with no rest stops. The pace may slow more in hot weather conditions. If you opt to attend and hike at your own pace you must be comfortable finding your own way on the trails. For more info on our various paces see our [group pace guide](https://sites.google.com/view/outdoorconnectiondfw/pace-guide).

**WHERE WE MEET:** Hikes start promptly at the indicated meetup time. We will meet in the parking area at the DORBA trailhead. The turn in to the parking is on the right about a half mile past the park entrance. This is also the entrance to the Dogwood Canyon camping area.

**FEE/RESERVATIONS:** $7 day use fee. Please get a day pass reservation online prior to coming out for our hike. If there is no attendant on duty when you enter the park, stop by the self pay station at the park entrance. Fill out the self pay form and write your day use reservation number in the "Pass Number" field as proof of payment. Attach the white top copy to the inside of your windshield and place the yellow envelope inside the slot on the payment box. See the state park website for reservation information. (There are several units for Ray Roberts Lake State Park. Be sure to make your reservation for Johnson Branch.)
