Thursday 10am 3-park hike Holmdel

Holmdel Park

This is a “3 park” hike. The plan is to do about 6 miles on the trails at Holmdel Park, the Ramanessin tract and Bayonet Farms - at a mostly BRISK (3 mph) pace - goal is to finish about 6 miles in about 2 hours. Please maintain the advertised pace and stay between the leader and sweep. On this hike: Expect flat to rolling to hilly terrain - with a couple of longer, steeper hills. Trails vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields, stream and pond views. Also plenty of wildlife, but depends on the weather and season. These trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Also: Poles, when trails are slippery. Things to bring: Water, bug repellent, sun protection, layered clothing. We will meet in the first parking area at Holmdel Park - in front of the Shelter Building (restrooms) and next to the pond. Address is: 44 Longstreet Rd, Holmdel NJ. Please arrive at least a few to 15 minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack
