Meet at the parking lot in front of the New Castle Senior Center where a bathroom is available. The hike will follow the Greenway to the Hermitage behind the New Castle Elementary School. We will be joined by Jim Sidlowski who has been hired by the Trustees of New Castle to  work to enhance the area and plan activities and events there. The Hermitage trail is a wooded one mile loop with roots. Poles are an option.

Stay on South through the stop sign at 6th until you pass 5th street. The parking lot will be on your right.
