Come join our Rangers on a guided hike through Long Pond Trail. Starting at the Visitor Center, this is a 1-mile looped hike that goes along the Aquia Creek. Though geared towards younger hikers, this short trail is perfect for hikers both big and small.

Bring a water bottle or thermos with a hot drink, and dress for the weather in warm clothes! Remember to check the conditions outside before coming as there may be ice or snow on the ground. Long Pond Trail isn't accessible to wheelchairs or strollers.

Pets are welcome on this hike so long as they are friendly towards adults, children, and other pets. They must remain on leash the entire hike.

In the case of inclement weather and the program must be cancelled, please check this page prior to coming to the park.
