The Wampum Chapter will be leading a hike on Sunday afternoon, October 24th, on our new section of North Country Trail at Pennsylvania Gamelands 285. We'll gather at the Watt's Mill trailhead at 2:00 and shuttle hikers over to Sterling Road, hiking the 2.5 miles along the North Fork of Little Beaver Creek, up and over Indian Rock hill, along the eight-bridge-mile (or so) and back to the new hiker-shelter at Watt's Mill. At the shelter we'll enjoy pumpkin pie, a campfire, and some NCT trail comaradarie.
If you'd like a longer hike that day, you could start earlier and walk the four miles of NCT from the OH/PA state line, starting on Old Blackhawk Road outside of Negley, OH and extending to the shelter at Watt's Mill. We'll get you back to your car. Conversely, if you'd like to just come out to see the shelter along the creek and participate in some North Country Trail fellowship on an autumn afternoon, you're welcome to come on out!
Wear comfortable hiking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water and a snack if you want for during the hike. Please let us know that you're coming (so we have enough pie!!) by contacting Eleanor Fairbanks at Fairbanks14@comcast.net or by calling 724 847-0589.
