Meeting at the Cresheim Valley Pergola
Join Debbie and Jim as we explore an area of the park we don’t often visit, the Cresheim Trail! Starting at Germantown Avenue, we’ll see the ruins of the barn of Buttercup Cottage and where Lake Surprise once was. We’ll take note of what some of our favorite and least favorite plants look like in late autumn as we hike ~4-4.25 miles. We’ll be sure to point out two interesting tulip trees on our route! Some of the trails are rocky, so come prepared in sturdy, close-toed shoes.
Children 12 years of age and older are welcome to attend when accompanied by an adult, but please, no dogs except for service animals.
Distance: 4-4.25 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador Walks may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks.
