Join Harris Center ecologist Brett Amy Thelen and John Kondos of Friends of Pisgah for a 3.5-mile loop hike around scenic Kilburn Pond, with excellent views of woods and water. Along the way, we’ll stop to explore stone walls, rock outcroppings, a 1930s-era dam, and whatever else the autumn woods have to offer.

Bring water and a snack to enjoy from one of many pond-side vistas, and come prepared for some rooty, rocky sections of trail and approximately 250 feet of elevation gain.

Meet at 1 p.m. at the Kilburn Road trailhead for Pisgah State Park, off Route 63 in Hinsdale. Back by 4 p.m. Space is limited, and registration is required.

Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and Friends of Pisgah.
