Orange Trail Dedication

On Saturday, June 7th, in conjunction with National Trails Day, Ridley Creek State Park will be opening a new trail, assisted by the Friends of Ridley Creek State Park. The trail will be known as the "Orange Trail". This is the first new official trail to be opened within the park in several years. The Orange Trail will parallel the stream on the stream's east side, downstream of Gradyville Road.

This event will coincide with the Friends' monthly trail activity. Participants will meet at the Park office at 9 am Saturday, June 7th. There will be work activities for participants to include; measuring the length of this loop trail, blazing orange blazes on trees, and cutting back remaining brush. In addition, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony with Park Manager Roger McChesney and the Chief Ranger Tony Mosloskie. Refreshments will be provided by The Friends of Ridley Creek State Park and Eastern Mountain Sports of Haverford. Prizes provided by Friends and EMS will be awarded.

Everyone is welcome! Don't miss this special event and the opportunity to be part of a special milestone in the history of the Park.
