Join us for Hikes and Eats!

Hike: Towpath,  4.6 Easy miles, 2445 Vanderhoof Road, New Franklin 

Eat: Picks Portage Lakes 530 Portage Lakes Drive, Akron  330-794-5157

 Hiking is free, but if you want the really nice walking stick or the annual shields that attach, they are free to Summit County residents. Nonresidents pay $10 for the walking stick and $5 for each shield. You should download the participation form so you can keep track of your own hiking. If you miss any of these, you can also do a “hiker’s choice”. Just hike any trail in the Summit County MetroParks to meet your hiking requirements. You only have to hike 8 trails to qualify for the rewards! Go to https://www.summitmetroparks.org/hiking-spree.aspx to sign up.

Join us for as many trails as you want, or just join us for food! Trails are organized to minimize drive time between hikes. Feel free to choose the trails you want to hike. Join us at the designated nearby eatery so that we can “cool down” after our workout!
