Are you looking for an outdoor adventure while giving back to the community? Join Champlain Area Trails for a Friday Working Hike at the High Point Trail. This is considered an easy trail. The trail leads through a short thicket and into open, mature woods with abundant wildlife. Expect to walk up to 2 miles with about a hundred feet of elevation gain.
During this working hike, we will engage in trail maintenance activities such as lopping, hand sawing, string-trimming, and cleaning up the trail, making it safer and more enjoyable for all hikers. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and contribute to preserving this fantastic community trail.
WHAT TO BRING:
- Tools: Champlain Area Trails will provide loppers, hand saws, and string trimmers, but feel free to bring your own tools if you prefer.
- Safety Gear: Bring gloves and protective eyewear (if using a string trimmer).
- Hydration: Don’t forget to bring water!
- Snacks: Pack some snacks for energy during the hike.
- Clothing: Dress in warm layers and footwear that can get wet.
