Come join us for a tour around this wonderful Mercer County park. We will meet at the Pole Farm at 10 a.m. at the parking lot where Keefe Road and Cold Soil Road meet. Look for the Red Barn!

We will follow the LHT and other trails as we journey throughout Mercer Meadows, returning to the Pole Farm around noon, after a roundtrip of 10 miles. Along the way, we’ll stop at a few picturesque locations for a short break, social time, and a snack. (Bring your favorite trail snack!) Note that this trail is mostly made of stone dust and gravel, which lends itself best to mountain bikes or hybrids.  See you there, and do not forget your helmet!
