Whitesbog

A hike that I often enjoyed back when I was able to do such hikes, was the Moonlight Hike at Whitesbog. In addition to the advice given in the copied and pasted information below, I add that a head-lamp is very useful. Sometimes night hike leaders do not want unnecessary light in the forest but if your leader permist it a head-lamp can be a lifesaver. This is a beautiful and mysterious hike so if you are still able to do such hikes, I recommend this one!

Moonlight Hike meets at the General Store, no reservations are needed. We recommend you arrive a bit early to ensure you meet the group and have time to check-in. Check back here in case of poor weather. The hike will continue in light rain.

Trails can be very bumpy, sandy and it will be dark! You are responsible for your own safety. We recommend bug spray, sturdy shoes, a flashlight to check for potholes in the path, and water. Come explore the village and the bogs by moonlight, this special opportunity is scheduled on or as close to the full moon as possible. An experienced guide will share insights about Whitesbog and the nature that surrounds us.

Meet your guide in the General Store before the start time and look around prior to the start. All walks are 3-5 miles in length.

Trail paths are sandy and can be bumpy or wet. Dress is weather appropriate.

$10 per person suggested donation. Members of Whitesbog Preservation Trust $5

If it is your first visit we recommend you set out early to allow time to find the village and park in the parking lot.
