About The Event
On the South Shore of Lake Arthur, the Hilltop Loop trail in Moraine State Park passes by different stages of
forest regeneration, cavity-nesting bird boxes, and the remains of a springhouse. The trail includes flat grassy
areas and gradual inclines that lead to fields high above the highway and lake. This trail is labeled as more
difficult which probably implies some hills to deal with. Depending on the time spent on Hilltop Loop, we will
probably add Pleasant Valley or Sunken Garden Trail. Moraine Trail Map
We will meet at 9:00 a.m. in the main parking lot and carpool to the hike. The trailhead should be about a 60-minute drive. The hike should be about 2 hours. So, we will be home around 1:00 p.m. If it rains, we will reschedule. Please email me at gstchild@yahoo.com or call so we don’t leave without you.
