Bar-B-Que. Participants will travel north along the bank of Cedar Creek to
Stevenson Park, then return by the same trail.
The hike route is approximately three miles long. Parking will be available at 170 ES 11 Street and signage will direct hikers to the designated parking area.
Some recommendations to ensure a fun-filled and safe hike:

Before starting any wellness program or engaging in physical activity, consult your physician.
Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a trash clean-up as they hike along Cedar Creek. Collection supplies and trash bags will be provided. Those who would like to participate in the trash pick-up are encouraged to bring work gloves.
