  • Dog days of September Hike at Lime Hollow
    We will move a little slower if the temperature is above 80 degrees on this September outing. We will stay mostly in the woods as we traverse about 2 miles of the Lehigh Valley Trail to a picnic area in the Town of Cortlandville. Bring a sandwich or sub and a friend. On the way down we will enjoy the natural things we find and get some of the history of the trail and why this preserve is called, Lime Hollow. The trail is an old railroad bed so it is flat, open and clear. Good shoes (no open toed shoes or flip flops), plenty of water and bug spray and hats are recommended. Adults only and no dogs, even though it is the dog days of September.  :-)
