'Coddiwomple' with us through the forest and along the creeks that feed into Bear Creek Lake. Join us for a two-mile meander over moderate terrain with some steeper inclines. On our way we will go over some things to keep in mind when adventuring in nature. A portion of this walk will pass through the neighboring Cumberland State Forest, so wearing a blaze orange hat or vest is recommended. Comfortable walking shoes will also help you enjoy this journey.
