18+ miles – fast - gentle hills - Prior registration required: call or text Fran at 631-806-5078. Hike the middle section of our Greenbelt Trail and experience the ephemeral beauty of Spring. Restrooms available at the beginning and end of our hike, as well as on the return in Hidden Pond Park at the ice rink. Fast and strenuous pace, so we might not have time to pick the violets popping up on the woodland floor. Bring water and food for the journey. Quick lunch at approximately mile 12. Heavy rain cancels; reach out to me if unsure. Meet in the parking lot by the Blydenburgh-Weld House, 102 New Mill Road, Smithtown. Arrive at least 15 minutes early.  Hike end time is approximate.
