Come out and join us on a guided hike! To recognize and thank you for supporting the Trail Conference, we hope you will join us for an exclusive, guided hike! After a series of storms, downed trees made the trail’s first three-quarters of a mile nearly impassable. Many of the downed trees were mature and large. Trail supervisor, Mark Kern, Sawyers Greg Bernet, David and Monica Day worked as a double saw team and worked their way up the Dunnfield Creek Trail to make the trail passable and avoid creating social trails. Along this scenic hike, see the beautiful Dunnfield Falls. Join us to see the completed work done by this all-star volunteer team that made it a priority to address the needs of the trail to ensure a safe and enjoyable hiking experience. Hike Details: Park: Worthington State Forest Route: Lollipop Length: 3.7-miles
