The spring hike will be on Saturday June 15 at 9:30 a.m. at the Racebrook Tract off Racebrook Road in Orange, just north of Derby Avenue. The hike is free and open to the public. The trails meander through fairly level land, making it a pleasant walk. The OLT recommends hiking boots/shoes with good tread. Bring a hiking stick and a small water bottle. All dogs must be leashed.
