Oak Ridge – North Boundary Trail
February 4 All day
We’ll touch on several different trails but they’re all easy, no significant elevation changes. We’ll pass through woodlands and see creekside habitats showcasing a variety of wildlife and natural plants as well as remnants of pre-Manhattan project settlements. We’ll see the quarry lake and old cemeteries too. The hike is about 6 miles.
We will meet in Oak Ridge at the Books-A-Million parking lot nearest Illinois Ave. for carpooling to the trail head because there is limited parking, leaving at 9 am. Books-A-Million is located at 310 South Illinois Ave. The trail head is about 4.5 miles away.
The weather is variable; we recommend hiking poles, shoes to wear to and from the hike plus sturdy hiking shoes, other weather appropriate clothing, a snack, a drink and a camera.
After the hike plan on stopping on the way back for a meal and refreshments.
For additional information about the hike please contact Scott Adams before February 3rd
