This venue has a few loops of trails, so you can walk a mile or 10 depending on what you would like for the day!

There are a few hills. It is dog on a leash friendly. There are outhouses (burrrrrr, only for the brave).

It may be snowshoes but we will have to wait to see what the weather is first....this is Michigan. The last time I checked, you could rent snowshoes at Bill and Pauls on East Paris.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope to see you all soon!

    The address is posted, but really on the NorthEast corner of Honey Creek and Conservation. I will be in the parking lot on Conservation. Hope to see you Saturday! Also, don't forget to check the message board too..I sometimes reply to questions there or start new discussions about the upcoming hike.

    I have a Ford Explorer that can hold 4 to 5 people and their gear comfortably, so if any one would like car pool, let me know
