Overview

Join our Wednesday hiking group for a 7.5-mile walk around this pretty reservoir in the New Jersey Highlands. Trails have some gentle ups and downs but no steep elevation. Our pace will be moderate and we will stop for a trail lunch at the mid-point of the hike. Meet at the Visitor Center parking lot at 10 am. Bring water, snacks, and lunch. Bathrooms are available at the trailhead and at the half way point of the hike. Wear layers appropriate for the temperature. Part of the hike is in a sun exposed area, so bring a hat, protective clothing, and sunscreen if weather and your skin requires it. Heavy rain or thunderstorms may result in a cancelled hike.. Please check the DV Calendar at https://amcdv.org/AMCCalendar.php or contact the leader if uncertain. Please note cell phone reception is poor at Merrill Creek.
