About this Event
Join Dr. Kirk Barrett, expert on local water issues, and President of the Rahway River Watershed Association, for a winter hike in South Mountain Reservation.
Hike about 4-5 miles at a modest pace over rough, rocky (and possibly muddy or icy) trails with a moderate climb from the Rahway River/Orange Reservoir up the west side of the First Watchung Mountain. Focus on the River's role in drinking water supply and proposals for modification of the reservoir for flood damage reduction. Hiking poles recommended, along with traction devices if icy.
Children are welcome, at your discretion. No dogs please. Snowy roads cancel.
Meet: at the Clipper Pavilion on Cherry Lane in West Orange by the Regatta Playground and swan boats (aka The Waterfront), 0.4 mi south of Northfield Ave and 0.9 mi north of South Orange Ave.
