Family Nature Journaling on the Deasey and Esker Trails
Leader: Amy Barker
Date: June 24, 2023 at 9:30 at the gravel pit parking lot at the start of Deasey Trail.
Difficulty and length in miles: This is about 2 miles of hiking but is an gentle, non-strenuous hike that is perfect for all ages.
Description of the hike: We will be hiking the Deasey and Esker Trails off the Loop Road. We will start on the Deasey Trail to Deasey Pond. There is a wooden platform looking out over the pond where we will sit and do some nature journaling. After the Deasey round trip, we will take the Esker Trail down to an arm of Sandbank Stream for lunch and more journaling time. This is a family hike, so all ages are encouraged to attend!
What to bring: This is a summer hike so weather conditions may vary. Bring warm clothes, good footwear for the trail may be slippery in places, lunch, and water. If you have a nature journal, bring it, otherwise bring a notebook or sketchbook and basic drawing supplies. Other art supplies will be available to play with!
