Come hike with us!
The Walpack Historical Society’s Fall Hike will take place on Sunday, November 15th, 2026. Hikers are to meet at the parking area of the Namanock Recreation Site located off Old Mine Road in Sandyston, New Jersey at 10:30 am. The hike will depart promptly at 11:00 am.
Hikers will walk along a scenic DEWA service road, which follows the Delaware River. This is a 2.4 mile “out and back” hike covering terrain that is flat, level and easily accessible to hikers of all abilities. The hike is expected to last 3 hours allowing for interpretive pauses to discuss the varied groups of people who have occupied this land for over 12,000 years, the impacts they had on the area and how the land has returned to a diverse new growth forest. There will also be an emphasis on tree identification.
This is a weather dependent event. Please check our social media and website before making the journey to Sandyston. Hikers are asked to dress with temperature changes in mind and to wear sturdy shoes. This event is more of a walk than a hike, but the service road is untreated and could be muddy. Please remember to bring water and a snack. Well-behaved dogs are welcomed but must be leashed at all times.
