For Your Safety: Consider the weather forecast when booking a walk. WATER MUST BE CARRIED ON ALL WALKS!

Choose appropriate footwear for trail conditions. Use repellent to protect yourself from ticks, which are active year-round.
Feeling uncertain about starting or restarting your Nordic walking journey? You’re not alone! Many feel that it might be too far or too difficult, especially if stamina is a concern. But here’s the good news: these wide trails are designed with you in mind! With NO inclines and some shaded spots, plenty of stops, several benches if needed. We will do a 0.5 mile loop incorporating the first two of four bridges and great views of the ponds, returning to close to the parking lot. For those willing and able, we will turn back the way we came for a 1.0 mile total walk. No pressure to do the second loop. Great opportunity for anyone recovering from an injury or long lay-off from walking to get back in the swing.
We go at a very relaxed pace, taking frequent breaks to catch our breath and enjoy the scenery. 🏞️ So, what are you waiting for? Step outside, connect with nature, and take the first step towards better health with us. You’ve got this! 💪🌳
