Sunday Ridge and Valley Trail Hike

Selected By: Michael Helbing


Hey all!
Join us for a hike on the complete route of the Ridge and Valley Trail as well as some other great stuff!
The hike will take us from Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area on the proposed route of the Ridge and Valley Trail, then onto the existing and trail south through Camp Mason and other spots, Lightning Bug Hollow, White Lake Wildlife Management Area, White Lake Natural Resource Area, and more! We will hike the new White Lake Trail and red trail around Squier's Corners in additon to Ridge and Valley.
The hike will end at my home on the shore of White Lake (picture of from my front window).
The trail is rugged and has some undergrowth. If anyone would like to assist with trail work, feel free to bring some pruners and help us clear the way for future hikers!
I want to try to fix up the sections of trail that are in poor condition. I will have my "happy saw" and trail blazes, my hammer, etc. Anyone who is willing to bring some pruners, etc. is welcome to do so.

The hike will also include some other new stuff from what we did the previous time near Delaware Water Gap and more! Contact me if you need more info!!!
Try not to be late, I want to try to start in good time. If you do happen to run late, I have plenty of late join in options.

The hike will end at my home at White Lake, which is where we will meet. Address is 149 Stillwater Road, Hardwick NJ. It's a long driveway just past the parking area for White Lake to the north. It's a big green mail box with my name on it.
DO NOT TRUST A GPS to find my house. There are something like four Stillwater Roads, and a Stillwater Station Road in my area. It will send you to the wrong place. I tried it yesterday and it sent me to a vacant parking lot up the road. Just remember the correct Stillwater Road is Rt 521, just under a mile north of the intersection with Spring Valley Road.
