Sunday Delaware Water Gap Hike!


Join us for an outstanding point to point hike between the Delaware Water Gap and Analomink PA by way of Stroudsburg and it's Broadhead Creek Trail system and much more!In January 2013, we did a similar hike in the same vicinity ending at a great party at Michele with outstanding food by her husband Scott.
This year, we will do a variation of that hike, covering different ground than we did on the previous one.
Meeting point will be in Penn Estates. Follow the directions noted on the map from above first. From Stroudsburg area, take Rt 209 business route north to Rt 447 north. That continues out of town, and then turn left on 191 south across Broadhead Creek bridge. Turn right on Hallet Road heading up hill, very curvy. On the left is the gate into Penn Estates at the top. Stop at the gate.
NOTE EVERYONE MUST GIVE THEIR FULL NAME on here to enter. Your name will be placed on a list of invited guests. Not everyone has their full names on Meetup profile, but it is necessary here.
After the gate, continue ahead, then left onto Kensington and then left into Stonehenge. Michele and Scott's house is on left. #3245. This address probably will NOT come up on GPS.


After meeting we'll shuttle in as few cars as possible to Delaware Water Gap. Please indicate whether you plan on attending the after party or not.
Due to closure of National Parks, an alternate and probably much more interesting route will be taken rather than the ones on federal land.
Either way, we will end up in the town of Delaware Water Gap and through interesting parks with little bits of road walk between. We will stop for refreshments in the town.

We then make our way onto a future trail route over a secondary ridge with some great seasonal views into the valleys!We'll continue through Glen Park along the Broadhead Creek on partially a different route, then walk through a bit of downtown Stroudsburg. From there, we get on the Stroud Region Levee Trail. Last time we did the east side, and this time we'll be on the west.We'll continue along the creek heading north through sections of parks until we get to Hallet Road, then take a different route than last time that eliminates the long road walk up hill to Penn Estates. This time we'll make use of a dirt road that leads almost directly to her house!
Then partying will commence.
I will post more details on this hike when the time nears. Michele is also an event host here, and so she will have the ability to alter details, etc.
Hope many of you can join in on the fun!
