Warwick Trails Group March Hike
We invite you to join us for a hike on the Darling Brook and Hockanum Hill Trails.
When: Third Sunday of the month: March 15 at 1 p.m.
Where to meet: We will meet at the Hockanum Road parking lot (about 0.3 miles from the intersection of Orange Road and Hockanum Road, or about 0.5 miles from the intersection of Hockanum Road and Wendell Road). Note that the lot has not been plowed but you can park along the road.
The Hike: Due to the snow that is still somewhat deep in spots, despite the warming trend this past week, here is the plan for the hike:
We will first hike the Hockanum Trail Loop (about 0.8 miles). For those of you who want to continue, we will then hike the Darling Brook Trail to Wendell Road (about 2.4 miles). You may end at Wendell Road where we will leave a vehicle to drive back to Hockanum Road. Or, you may hike back on the Darling Brook Trail to Hockanum Road.
Snowshoes and hiking poles are helpful if you choose to hike the Darling Brook Trail.
Please dress for the weather, including hiking or winter boots, and bring a water bottle. We will have maps and a trail description available.
The all-volunteer Warwick Trails Group maintains some of Warwick’s town owned trails, hikes and maps existing trails, plans and creates new ones, and occasionally leads hikes around Warwick.
