***Program location: Tohickon Valley Park, 165 Cafferty Rd., Pipersville, PA 18947***

As winter fades away and the ice melts, we are sometimes left with a whole new landscape. Join a state park naturalist at Tohickon Valley Park for a roughly 3-mile hike while we talk about the post-Ice Age processes that helped shape the Tohickon Gorge. As we make our way down the trail, we will also stop to view the white-water conditions present for this weekend.

This hike will be on rocky, sometimes steep terrain, and will cover around 3 miles. Please dress in layers and wear shoes/boots appropriate for hiking. Be sure to bring water and snacks. The program may be cancelled or modified due to inclement weather. For any questions, please reach out to Annastasia Soto at annsoto@pa.gov.
