National Take A Hike Day falls on November 17 and is a celebration of the outdoors and gives us a chance to reconnect with nature. It is a day to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of hiking. Pequest Staff will be celebrating this day, and we hope you will join us on one of the trails on the Pequest Wildlife Management Area.

We will be hiking a combination of trails for a nice 2.5-mile hike. There is a steep ascent of 127′ in a quarter mile on part of the trail.

Proper clothing and footwear are required. Hikers should wear hunter orange while on the trails.

For ages 8 years and above. Participants 16 years and younger must be accompanied by a participating adult.
