Our female only hikes are for women and lead by women! Expand your girlfriend circle by meeting up with local, young women who enjoy the outdoors.

This hike is a great intro to hiking! We'll hike about 3 miles with small uphills and downhills. The trail will take us by the beautiful Black River where we will enjoy a river walk for a while and even a little waterfall. If you like bird watching, Hacklebarney also offers a home for over 100 species of birds, depending on the season. After the hike those who are hungry or thirsty will go out for lunch as a group.
