Come Hike the Hill!

Join us for a day of winter hiking at Fort Hill State Memorial. The hike will use portions of the Fort, Deer, and Gorge Trails and encompass about five to six miles of hiking along this beautiful section of the Buckeye Trail. We will see Hopewell earthworks, rock outcroppings, and some small arches. There will be two steep hills to tackle (400 and 300 feet respectively), and the Gorge Trail can be slippery at times, so be certain to wear sturdy hiking boots. Layers are a must and bring water as winter hiking actually can dehydrate you faster than summer hiking. The hike will start at 11:15 and should take two to three hours. The hike will occur unless there are severe weather conditions.

Carpool - Meet at the Eastgate Meijers between 9:15 and 9:30. The carpool will leave at 9:30 a.m. sharp so do not be late. The drive to Fort Hill will take a little over an hour. The carpool address is 888 Eastgate North Road. From I-275 take the Eastgate exit (Ohio 32) east about one mile, the Meijers will be on the left.
