Cincy Hikes Great Parks Hiking Stick Program Hike #14 Shawnee Lookout

Cincinnati Hikes Hiking Staff Program Hikes

The Hiking Staff Program is a way to visit the Great Parks of Hamilton County and get rewarded for it.  The first year, if you hike 7 trails, you are able to purchase the hiking staff.  Each year you complete 7 trails, you get a metal emblem to attach to your staff.  If you hike all 34 trails in one calendar year, you can purchase the Master Hiker Emblem.

Come join me for any or all the hikes in this series!

#14 Shawnee Lookout, Blue Jacket, Little Turtle and Miami Fort Trails, followed by a stop at 13 Below Brewery.  Bring a headlamp and Trekking Poles to help navigate when it gets dark.

here is the link to the form so you can track your progress - after you complete your trails, you will need to turn it in at one of the nature centers to purchase your staff and emblems!
