Today's hike is mostly on road, but a little on trail at the end, as we traverse from the area of Scioto Trail State Forest and head toward the Pike Lake State Park area. This hike will get us a jump start on the final hike by breaking up some of the difficult hiking in the Pike Lake region, making the final hike a little easier.📍 MEETING POINT (BOTH HIKES)Scioto Trail Pt 29 (Fredneck's Mini Mart near cross roads of state route 772 & Potts Hill/Nipgen Rd)*NOTE: Both hikes are meeting here for the group photo.*Scioto Trail Point 29 (Fredneck's Mini Mart)144 State Route 772Bainbridge, OH 45612Coordinates: 39.18985,-83.1502Park in the back, or furthest away from the doors so we do not inconvenience their customers.Fredneck's opens at 8am.
