Hickory Run – Boulder Field Hike (3E12+/-)
Join us for a truly adventurous hike as we traverse the north section of Hickory Run State Park. During our hike, we’ll be walking through a variety of landscapes & habitats. We’ll be going over a river, under 476, & across several amazing boulder fields that are a must see to believe (pictures really do not do them justice). Most people know of the main Hickory Run Boulder Field, which is 400 feet wide, & 1,800 feet long. We’ll be walking over the main field, along with going over several other boulder fields in the area that are hidden gems. To get to these fields, we’ll go off trail / bushwhacking for about 4 miles. Also be prepared for about 1.5 miles of walking over the boulder fields. The total for the hike is about 12 miles. On the regular trails, we’ll be going at a quick pace, so please be prepared to hike at a steady 3 mph average. This should be a great hike, hope to see you on the trail!
