Description

Walter's Falls Inn is a popular dining place! We'll walk from Walter's Falls through cedars along Walter's Creek. After hiking on the Walter's Falls Side Trail, we'll take in part of the Main Trail and then loop back on the Side Trail. We'll see historic features of the old saw mill. Hike participants can come for just the hike or do the hike and be part of the lunch group. A group reservation will need to be made in advance.

Guidelines

1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
   Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
   Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
6. Bring your own first aid kit.
7. Please leave dogs at home.
