3-mile, easy hike. Sam Michaels is the largest county park in Jefferson County, WV. It includes ball fields, pavilions, and a popular frisbee golf course. Of more interest to us, however, are the conservation projects that have taken place there in recent years and the Elks Run watershed that runs through the park and provides water to Harpers Ferry-Bolivar and much of the growing county. We will walk a loop that includes turf grass, meadow, and woods. Along the way, we’ll pass the abandoned farm of the park’s namesake and ponder where all the water in Elks Run has gone. There is no charge for this hike, though donations are welcome. It is appropriate for any adult able to walk the distance and children accompanied by parents or legal guardians.
Level: Easy
