Training Hikes Series
Our Training Hikes are a great way to get out and stretch your legs on a longer hike. If you’re training for an event or trip, feel free to bring your packed backpack. We’ll aim to cover 6-9 miles in three hours, but it will depend on the weather and the group. (Note: Scout troops and others interested in a similar program can call the nature center and arrange a separate training hike for their group!)
What to Expect:
This program is entirely outdoors. We will conclude at our destination: Stony Creek Metropark Nature Center. The time, approximately 180 minutes, will be spent walking. Expect to walk from 6-9 miles. The planned path surface is dirt and gravel and includes some rugged or steep terrain. On hot, humid days, we will break more frequently!

Time: 9 a.m. – Noon
Cost: $5 per child, $5 per adult
