SATURDAY, AUGUST 21 – SHORT, MEDIUM, OR LONG HIKE (5-20 MILES): We’ll start at the Lake Redman boat launch and hike up to Lake Williams, around half of Lake Williams, and into Nixon Park. We can refill water at the Nature Center and then head back to do the other half of Lake Williams and the bulk of Lake Redman. There are two tunnels under I-83 that will take us to the trails on the other side of the highway. They can be wet, so I’ve set a route that puts them as close to the end as possible. This will be a full day of briskly paced hiking on the trails of Lake Redman, Lake Williams, and Nixon Park. We’ll hike the longest route possible around the perimeter of the parks, and if there’s a hill, we’ll climb it.
