Hike:
Hike the entire Waterville Segment with us and check out the progress on this section of trail! Many improvements have occurred here over the last three years. Recently constructed trail replaced most of the dangerous, nearly one mile road walk. Our chapter volunteers also improved the safety of this segment by rebuilding the old boardwalks and bridge. Additionally, two Dispersed Camping Areas (DCAs) were added. Currently, a stone wall highlighting historical building practices from the area’s Welsh immigrants is nearing completion. We’re not done! Your hike leader, Jeff, will fill you in on the details.
Details:
This hike is approximately 5 miles long and has easy to moderate terrain. You may find hiking poles helpful. Bring water and dress for the weather. We will cancel if weather or conditions are unsafe. These hikes are free. All ages and abilities are welcome. Ages 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed and cleaned up after. Please bring water for your dogs as well. Follow us at Hartland Walking Club on Facebook for more details and to stay updated on what’s happening. Jeff Romagna and the Hartland Recreation Dept. organized this hike.
Location:
Meet in the parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church of Ottawa. We will leave some vehicles there and carpool to the The UWM at Waukesha Field Station (Google map). Please do not park in the Wildlife in Need Center parking lot (first driveway). Proceed north to the second driveway for the Field Station parking area. We will begin our hike from the UWM at Waukesha Field Station (website), where a short spur will connect us to the Waterville Segment.
