What started as a kitchen table blog by Founder and CEO Rue Mapp in 2009 has since grown into a cutting-edge nationwide network with 100-plus volunteer leaders in 60 cities. “Where Black people and nature meet,” Outdoor Afro reconnects Black people with the outdoors through outdoor education, recreation, and conservation.

A fun-loving group of well-organized people who enjoy engaging in a variety of outdoor activities, while remaining open to other events of mutual interest. Most members tend to be 40 plus, but all are welcome! We do ask that you please provide a recent & recognizable picture on your profile. Our hikes tend to be moderate to challenging trails. however, these are hikes, not races. Therefore, all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to come out. No one will ever be left behind. We're more interested in enjoying the outdoors, scenic beauty and good company. Most of our hikes are in Central and North Jersey and Southern New York, but we do venture outside of the area at times. Our bike rides are typically on rail trails (gravel) so hybrid and mountain bikes encouraged.  We frequent various sections of the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath, Columbia Trail and the Atlantic Highlands, but are always looking for new places to go. Hikes & bike rides will sometimes be followed by lunch at a local restaurant/pub, depending on interest. Our favorite campgrounds include Stokes State Forest, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Worthington State Forest, Spruce Run Recreation Area and Wawayanda State Park. Music and concert events (both inside and outside) will be geared toward classic rock bands which continue to tour & tribute bands to those who no longer do so. We may also include some kayaking events from time to time. As always, by joining the group and attending events, you acknowledge that you are of adult age and responsible for your own behavior & safety. In return, we provide assurance that all who join us will be treated with respect & dignity; and that the group will be governed by basic principles of reason, decency and common sense. We look forward to meeting you!
