Shingle Creek Trail (2026)

Generally considered an easy route and is great for hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring...This is the full Shingle Creek Trail located at the Shingle Creek Reserve....This trail is intended to be multi-use and is shared by bikers and hikers... We will travel out along the water under the 429 to the Trail end and then back to the Bridge, crossing over to then follow the Trail on the opposite side of the water and again, back to the Bridge...From there we follow the water out to connect with the Pine Island East Loop Trail for additional miles; the goal is 7 - 10... I recommend comfortable walking/hiking shoes, Deep Woods bug spray, sunscreen, fluids for hydration, snacks/food, an umbrella/hat, and your spirit of adventure and fellowship, but we do live by the creed "Hike Your Way"...Be ready to get fresh air, exercise, engage in diverse conversations, and make some new Connections!! If you need to cancel, please change your RSVP from "YES" to "NO". We realize things can change and it's not a big deal if you change your RSVP to avoid the "No-Show"...Thank you...JAP3 RELEASE OF LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT: By attending this event, you acknowledge that these events carry the risk of potential harm to myself up to and including the risk of injuries such as broken bones or muscle/tendon injuries, illness, disability, or death.
