GIVE YOURSELF EXTRA TIME TO FIND THE PARKING LOT, AS PARKING IS AT A PREMIUM IN THIS PARK

We're going to take a hike through this incredible gem!
"Ridley Creek State Park is a 2,606-acre Pennsylvania state park in Edgmont, Middletown, and Upper Providence Townships, Delaware County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Previously a family-owned property, it was acquired by the state in the 1960s. The park, about 5 miles north of the county seat of Media, offers many recreational activities, such as hiking, biking, fishing, and picnicking."

NOTE: THIS IS A MODERATE HIKE on the blue trail due to the hills and rocky terrain. it will be 3.5 miles. We're going to take the blue/white trail to the yellow trail and back.

THESE HIKING EVENTS ARE RECURRING BUT ARE CONTINGENT UPON THE WEATHER & MAY BE CANCELED SHOULD THERE BE LIGHTNING & HEAVY RAIN.

WARNING: Our hike is not a flat-terrain walk, like the path along Kelly Drive; this is a moderate hike. The trails are hilly and will take us into wooded areas, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone with serious joint problems. I don't want to leave a fallen warrior behind, but I will! I'm just sayin'...

Nature will be all over you by the time we're done. This is a great event to talk and get to know other members. Wear sturdy hiking boots/sneakers or regular sneakers with good traction that you don't mind getting muddy. Also suggested are a bottle of water and a bite to eat, such as a granola bar, fruit, or trail mix. Bug spray, sunscreen, and a hat/scarf are also helpful but not usually necessary. You may just need a light jacket, and be sure to layer, as you will warm up. Bring your EpiPen or inhaler too (better safe than sorry). Park in the parking lot and be prepared to see some birds and animals as we forget about urban life for a while.
