Join us for a 6-mile hike through the Stony Creek Metropark Nature Center Trails. It’s a great opportunity to explore the park’s natural beauty, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the peaceful surroundings. Keep an eye out for wildlife—deer are often spotted along the route. We’ll take a couple of breaks to relax and appreciate the scenery—hope you can join us!
