Friday, November 27 -- Friday Night Hike, Old Westerville, Ratings: E/S 2/2
Join us for a 3+ mile hike in Old Westerville. We will be walking through some of Old Westerville’s quaint neighborhoods and around the charming Otterbein College campus. Our hike will end with an optional dinner at a popular area restaurant. Meet at 7 pm in the parking lot located behind Graeter’s Ice Cream Parlor at the corner of State St. and College Ave. Bring a flashlight, wear light reflective clothing, and wear sturdy footwear as we may encounter some wet and muddy areas. Contact leader for further information.
The forest and park are nestled in the high ground of the Appalachian foothills rising above the Scioto River Valley. This historic area was home of the Shawnees as late as the 1700’s and saw the arrival of early American explorers who traveled up the Scioto River. This hike of 11+ miles has most trails in the forest and is comprised of rugged terrain that rapidly descends or rises. While offering expansive views of the area, this is strenuous hike and may have additional weather related challenges. Bring water, lunch, suitable attire and meet at 9 am behind Tim Horton’s in the Great Southern Shopping Center on U.S. 23 just north of I-270. Contact leader for further information.
