Meet: We will meet in the First Landing State Park 64 th Street boat launch area parking lot at the end of the park access road, near the restrooms by 9:15 AM to sign in and register for the hike. For those without a park access pass the cost per car is $7.00 to enter and park in the state park. REI receipts may
also be used to enter the park. The restroom facilities located in the boat launch area are the only restrooms available in this area of the park.

We will be hiking a total of 7 miles on the Cape Henry Trail, the Long Creek Trail, the Osprey Trail and return on the Cape Henry Trail. At 9:30 AM we will proceed to the trailhead located in the Narrows area
near the boat launch area to start the hike. You can expect primarily flat trails except for parts of the Long Creek Trail where there are some rolling hills. You will be walking through coastal forests on all trails especially the Long Creek Trail and have some great views of the bay while on the Cape Henry and
Osprey trails. 

We will probably hike rain or shine, cold or warm but we will notify everyone by 8 pm on Dec. 31st if there is a cancellation for especially foul weather. 

Please bring/wear appropriate clothing for the weather, hiking boots, water, snacks and/or lunch. 

This hike is leashed dog (and poop scooped) friendly!
