Order your lunch through MHAB as usual by Tuesday. A mix of sandwiches and drinks will be set up at the pavilion. These will be delivered to the site.
Arrive at the pavilion area by 11:45 a.m. The pavilion is located on the beach side of the park.
Plan to bring a chair. The pavilion picnic table may not be in place, so bring along a chair to be sure.
Kristin Collins, park naturalist, will lead the program. We will start a hike from the pavilion at about 12:15 p.m. This will go about one hour to 1:15 p.m.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and layers, depending on the temperature. We will walk through some forested areas and also along the lake. It is almost all flat.
The event is rain or shine.
