Friday, 4:44pm Update: The Hike is on for Saturday. 40% chance of passing showers.

Situated in a quiet little corner of Somerset County is a neat little park that offers a variety of scenery. Although very popular with bird watchers, Lord Stirling Park offers much more than just that. Nestled within this piece of the Great Swamp are several ponds, beautiful woodlands, fresh water marshes and beautiful meadows. Please join us in this peaceful walk through nature where you can relax your worries away with good company!

After our adventure, we will optionally go out to eat for lunch.
