We'll hike the Stillwell Woods Trail, a 5 mile loop (with an optional 1.9 miles for those who want to keep hiking). We'll meet at 850 am and depart promptly at 900 am from the parking lot located at Stillwell Woods Trailhead North, in Woodbury, NY. There are several hills on this trail that are challenging. If you struggle on hills and loose rock, trekking poles would be beneficial.

The park is on South Woods Rd between Chelsea Dr and Pell Lane (across the road and just north of Syosset High School). If you drive to the back of the lot you will see the path entrance.

Description:

Hey folks, this hiking meetup will meet at 10 am parking lot in Blydenburgh Park, Veteran's Memorial Highway, Smithtown, NY 11788. We are meeting in the parking area at the end, on the left, near the dog park. Follow signs to the dog park.

NOTE:!!! If you are late, a link to the AllTrails Live Share will be posted in the event comments section, allowing you to catch up and join us.

This is a 6.5-mile loop, mostly flat, with some beautiful views around a pond, but we might do some extra portions so it might be a bit longer. Given the distance, and that the pace will probably be about "medium to brisk," keep in mind that if you have walking disabilities this might not be for you. We will probably take about 2 or 2.5 hours to walk the trail routes this time, give or take a few minutes.

NOTE:

Jason and Teresa will be leading this hike and will decide which route the group takes.

NOTE:

If the weather forecast says more than a 50% chance of rain during the time of this hike, check back here one hour before the hike to see if the hike is canceled.

Unfortunately, there are no dogs with this group. Apologies.
