Wednesday Walk at Allanach-Wolf Woodlands
July 12, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Join us at Allanach-Wolf Woodlands for a relaxed ramble around Lake Marie and into the woods (and back).
If you take a look at the photo below, you’ll see the trail route, length and time it took me to complete the hike (according to my phone’s Google Fit app). If you take into consideration that I stopped to, quite literally, smell the roses, the azaleas, and the ferns… the total time for me to complete the 3.17-mile hike was 1 hour and 43 minutes. For our Wednesday Walk, I’d like to turn around at the RED line (that I added) cutting out some muddy areas with a fallen tree and overgrown ferns. That would make this hike approximately 2.5 miles and should take us an hour or so to complete. Stopping to smell the flora is optional.
The terrain here is varied. We’ll begin at the parking lot and walk the paved road for a very brief time before taking the loop into the pollinator garden then into the pine-rich woods. There is some root exposure here with gentle hills. We’ll venture to the yellow trail which is mostly grass with some rocks and roots to step over. This section is fairly flat but does require us to walk through some tall grass and ferns. Please be tick-safe and either bring propellant or long socks to tuck in your pants. On our return we will follow the paved road back to the parking area.

The walk begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will be cancelled in the event of rain or poor air quality. Bring water, BUG SPRAY or net, and appropriate hiking gear as needed.
I will post on Instagram and Facebook as well as this page if we decide to cancel the walk due to weather or other, unforeseeable circumstances.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me, Michelle Poudrette, the Development and Communications Manager, at (860) 429-9023, or email me at michelle.poudrette@joshuastrust.org. Registration is not required.
We look forward to seeing you on the trails.
