There is no obligation to complete the walk or walk a certain distance. <br /><br />We will be walking on both paved and unpaved surfaces, for a total of approximately 3 miles. Further distances are possible for those who wish. Our route will be generally flat, with a few slight dips and rises that can be easily avoided. If we have had rain during the weekend there may be some muddy patches. Sturdy shoes/boots are therefore recommended, as well as hiking poles if you use them, water, and a snack. There are restrooms throughout the park, one close to where we will be starting our hike. Although leashed dogs are allowed in the park, we do not allow them on our Northampton Neighbor walks.<br /><br /> Click on the link below for more i
