Nature Hike At McCutcheon Park Saturday June 5th

From Beth Lepin

On Saturday, June 5, at 10AM, I will offer a hike at McCutcheon Park Area/Crystal Lake in association with Middletown's Recreation Division.

Because not everyone is vaccinated and the trails at this site prevent us from appropriately social-distancing, I'm asking all participants to wear masks. We are also asking you to sign up ahead of time with me by responding to this email: beth@Bethlapin.com

The group size will be limited; if more people sign up than space, names will be pulled from a hat, based on those who have RSVPed by the end of Tuesday June 1th.

The hike will cover woodland trails and roadways, some of which have some short steep sections. The trip should last until approximately 11:30AM.

Wear hiking shoes, bring a snack and water.
