NOVEMBER - HIKING at CAT ISLAND
Acadian Group is meeting up with our sister Group over in Baton Rouge for a hike at Cat Island on Saturday, November 22, 2014
Meeting Times are 9:00am for carpoolers at the meetup in Baton Rouge and 10:30 hike leaves Trail Head.
Come and hike with us at Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge near Saint Francisville known for its old growth cypress trees. The weather has cooled a bit. Its a good time for a hike! We will meet at Campus Credit Union at Perkins Rd and Quail Dr for carpooling. Contact Gwen Pine 225-272-5207 if you plan to attend.We may need to reschedule or make alternate plans if roads are too wet. The leisurely walk to the tree on the Big Cypress trail is less than a mile round trip. It is an easy walk because the trail is level and has just been improved. After viewing the tree and surrounding area, we will head to the 2.8 mile Blackfork Walking Trail to observe other interesting flora and fauna. If you prefer, you may opt for a shorter walk, or none at all. Bring mosquito repellent. There are no facilities on Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge.
