The route is almost all in forest shade along the west facing edge of the escarpment cliff. There is a loop around Crawford Lake on a boardwalk in the middle where on occasion you may be able to spot turtles hunting along the lake edge. For those interested, we will stop for coffee and snacks at Springridge Farms. 

– Wear supportive hiking boots with good tread.

– Hiking poles will be helpful.

– Dress in layers according to weather; wear/bring waterproof rainwear.

– Bring snacks and enough water for the duration of the hike.
