Our next Harbor Country Hikers adventure will take us through the natural areas of Harbert Road Preserve. While on our hike led by Pat Fisher, HCH President, you’ll hear some interesting tales about “Song Dogs”, a name given to Coyotes by Native Americans and wildlife enthusiasts. Join us if you can!

This out-of-the-way 90-acre preserve has inviting wetland, prairie and woodland trails. A shaded picnic area, shelter, and scenic benches. You’ll find nesting habitats for birds of all types. Enjoy the seclusion! FYI, some of the trails are seasonally wet.

HCH has an All-Terrain Rollator which may be reserved for use on our hikes. Reservations are made on a first-come first-served basis by filling out the brief form at Request Rollator.

Wear long pants (preferably tucked-in), hat, sturdy shoes or boots, preferred pest controls, and bring plenty of water. Light precipitation and hot or cold weather don’t ordinarily lead us to call off hikes, but health-threatening temperature extremes and lightning can be causes for cancellation. In case of inclement weather, the day of the hike, check our website, harborcountryhikers.org, or our Facebook page for notice of cancellation or rescheduling.
