The Brodhead Watershed Association will host another in its series of Get Outdoors Poconos hikes June 24 at the 159-acre Mount Nebo Regional Park in Smithfield Township, Monroe County starting at 10:00 a.m.

Join hike leader Carol Hillestad for this moderate hike of 2 miles through this preserved land that actually isn’t far at all – the green views of Lake Nebo and the Delaware River are easily accessible to thousands of nearby residents.

The trail is steep in spots and crisscrossed with tree roots. There are some downed trees to climb over, and dry leaves and loose gravel can make the trail slippery in places, even when dry.

Meet at Mount Nebo Regional Park parking lot, 406 Mount Nebo Road. Take Mount Nebo Road either from Route 209 or from Buttermilk Falls Road.

The hike series is administered by Brodhead Watershed Association and supported by a grant from the William Penn Foundation.

The hike is free, but registration is required.  Call 570-839-1120 or 570-629-2727 or send email to: info@brodheadwatershed.org.
