DESCRIPTION: (Wear appropriate clothing & bring water!  Below are some special instructions: what to bring, relative difficulties, interesting features, and carpooling directions.)

We will hike up and back on part of the Mason Dixon Trail through this unusual and beautiful forest. Parking will be by the Susquehanna River and then hiking along Muddy Creek. The creek is far from muddy, as it’s quite clear and rushing. The river’s gorge is covered with huge native Rhododendrons. The gorgeous natural beauty will be worth the brief bit of challenging uphill at the beginning of the hike. (Coming down is easier!) No water crossings. The leader will wait and help as needed. Also, since all of it is up and back, hikers can stop any where along the way. The leader believes that this is the most special trail, within 1 hours’ drive of Newark, DE! Expect a 55 minute drive from Newark, under normal conditions. CARPOOLING: From Fair Hill Natural Resources Area – P1 (MD-273), 4640 Telegraph Rd, Elkton, MA 21921, by 9:00 AM. Fair Hill does have a parking fee …Cold Cabin does not. Bring water and snack.
