Long Hunter State Park – Bryant Grove Trail

Saturday, March 16 – Long Hunter State Park – Bryant Grove Trail. 8.0 miles Bryant Grove Trail. 8 miles rated moderate. Picnic lunch stop at the halfway point. This is a flat trail through the woods, at times adjacent to the lake. At the halfway point there is a picnic area with parking if anyone wishes to stage a vehicle there to shorten the hike. Turning around at any point along the way is also an option if anyone isn’t ready for the entire distance. The trail is clear and there are no branching trails. The walking surface is dirt and somewhat rough, with protruding rocks and roots, so hiking poles may be of use. Sturdy, comfortable footwear, probably waterproof hiking boots if possible as it may be wet/muddy/snowy/frozen. Dress for the weather. Bring your snacks, beverages, lunch. Hot soup in a little thermos is good on very cold days. There may be wildlife on view, and possibly some early plant growth to see. Meet at the trailhead sign at 9:30 A.M. CT and the goal is to finish before 2:30 P.M. CT. For more information, or to sign up, please text Jane Reyling at 702-279-7805, or email at JRYL76@gmail.com.
