SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 – MEDIUM HIKE (7-8 MILES): LAKE REDMAN and LAKE WILLIAMS

DESCRIPTION: We will hike some of Lake Redman and Lake Williams on what used to be trails 1, 2 and 4 and are now known as the orange rectangle (pumphouse) trail, the white rectangle (North Shore) trail, and the blue rectangle (South Shore) trail. This hike has a lot of hills that are fairly difficult along with a few moderate areas. Hiking poles would probably be a good idea as there are many leaves and branches down along the trails making them slippery. Also, bring water and snacks and wear sturdy shoes. 

Meeting Time and Location: 8:30 AM at the S. George St. parking lot of Lake Williams, immediately across from the Lake Redman dam. Expect to be out for about 3 hours.
