In this season of giving thanks, we will give thanks for one of the Conservancy’s newest protected preserves, Hellam Hills, with a hike! We will start at the pull-off on Chimney Rock Rd near the intersection with Furnace Road and explore the preserve including a hike up to Buzzards Roost where we will see great views of the Susquehanna River below. Keith Williams, the Conservancy’s Community Engagement Coordinator and a naturalist, will be on hand to point out interesting natural aspects of the trail throughout the hike.

Parking and check-in at the intersection of Chimney Rock Rd at Furnace Rd.

Recommended for ages 12+. Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
