Our Shakedown 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 6-8 miles in two 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 shakedown hike for their group!)
