Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust naturalist Sarah Gladu will lead a guided hike along the River~Link Trail in Edgecomb and Newcastle from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22.
The trail stretches five miles from the McKay Road parking lot in Edgecomb north to the River Road parking area in Newcastle. It includes a wonderful variety of forest types and interesting features, traversing the side of Mount Hunger, winding past old stone foundations, and crossing beautiful wooded streams.
This one-way walk will require carpooling or bringing two cars per party. The group will meet at the north River~Link parking lot on River Road in Newcastle – just south of the Dodge Point parking lot, on the opposite side of the road – and then carpool to the McKay Road parking area to begin the hike.
The program is free of charge thanks to Coastal Rivers member support. Registration is required at coastalrivers.org/events.
