You can leave when you want but we plan to finish each walk around 11:00 AM. Please join us for a healthy dose of exercise, fresh air, nature, and friends! These walks will be held rain, sleet, or snow (you know Ohio weather is unpredictable) but will be cancelled if any severe weather is predicted.​ ​We highly recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, use sun protection, apply insect repellent, and bring water.​ Questions?
