Beat the Heat Nature Hike - Saturday, August 9, 2025

8/9/2025 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET

It may be hot out, but we've got some truly cool spots to show you. Join our ambassadors for a morning hike through Black Run Preserve as we explore some of the preserve’s most unique locations. Our dry cedar swamp, surprisingly, is cooler than the surrounding forest and we'll explain why during the walk. We will hike 2.5-3 miles in two hours with frequent stops. The hike starts promptly at 9:00 AM to stay ahead of the heat so please arrive by 8:45 am. Porta-pottys are available at the start of hike. Our trails have hard and soft sand, slight elevations, roots, and stumps and some wet areas. Be sure to bring: plenty of water, sunscreen, and bug spray. Let’s keep it cool—see you there!
