We will continue to work on the Hearth Tender Trail. The Hearth Tender Trail is a stacked loop beginner to moderate hiking/biking trail system adjacent to Pine Grove Furnace State Park. The trail will connect into the existing Pole Steeple trail. When completed, the trail we include three different loops (3/4 mile, 1.4 mile, and a 4.1 mile loop).

We will continue construction of the 1.4 mile loop of the trail by digging, clearing, and tamping ground to create a quality sustainable trail tread.

What to Bring:
Hand tools will be provided but if you have a favorite tool you are welcome to bring it.
We’ll be using hoes, pick mattocks, cutter mattocks, rakes, wheelbarrows, and shovels.
Wear appropriate clothing and boots/sneakers.
Bring eye protection and gloves.
Bring snacks and plenty of water.
Rain or shine may be canceled in the event of severe weather.
