Nov 5, 2017 Dayhike Tappan Lake Dan/Joyce 1:00 pm [ earlier hike time due to daylight saving time ]
_Tappan Lake State Park will be the location of the November 5 dayhike. Due to the time change that day the start time will be at 1:00 pm. We will be hiking the trails within the park and will have several options as to how far or long we can hike. There are about 12 miles of trails in the park that are divided up into 3 or 4 loops. The trails are in very good condition and should be fairly easy walking with moderate ups and downs.
__Tappan Lake State Park is located 30 miles south of New Philadelphia on State Route 250. Take I-77 south to the Uhrichsville/ Cadiz exit, and 250 east. Follow 250 east to Deersville Rd. When you past the dam and first see the lake, it’s about 5 more miles, at the back end of the lake. There’s a Tappan Lake Park sign at Deersville Rd. Turn right on Deersville Rd. and go 3.8 miles to the sign into the park on your right. There are rest rooms in the park near the parking lot. Hoping to see a good turnout. Dinner after hike....

__Richfield Heritage Preserve (formerly known as Crowell Hilaka) is 336 acres of wonderful treasures. Once the estates of two prominent families (one being famous inventory Kirby—yes, the sweeper) for a hundred years, then a girl scout camp for about 75 years, the city of Richfield purchased it in 2015. Now folks like us are fortunate enough to be permitted to wander the trails and ogle the many historical buildings (including the castle-like Amity House that was owned by the Neal family). There are two lakes, a river, a secret waterfall, a hydroelectric mill, and numerous other sights to behold that you won’t want to miss.
