Council Adventures Trips are outdoor experiences on conserved land. We offer events throughout the year which include cross country skiing, snow shoeing, birding, family hikes, seasonal happenings, wildflower walks and history tours. Adventure Trips are free and open to everyone. Trips are led by community volunteers. No registration is required.
Please wear comfortable, sturdy shoes, bring drinking water (and a snack, if you like). Dress for the weather. No pets, please. Children are welcome on Adventure Trips designated for families. Our Adventure Trips depart rain or shine so plan accordingly.
