Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy close-toed shoes. Participants can access the north or south entrance to the East Shore Trail via the paved Wildwood Way Trail. Park at the Nature Center and begin walking north on Wildwood Way Trail. This program is a part of America250 Dauphin County Celebration. Pre-registration not required.
