Community Hike: Keyes Gap to David Lesser Shelter
May 5, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Everyone welcome — families, friends, kids. A simple walk in the woods along the Appalachian Trail with the David Lesser shelter at the turnaround point – an excellent example of an Appalachian Trail shelter used by thru-hikers walking from Georgia to Maine. It’s the perfect midway point to relax and eat your lunch, complete with a picnic table and swing. The shelter area is also a wide-open space in the woods for kids to play & explore.
Just downhill from the shelter is a stream where you can collect water (filtration recommended). I’ll bring a water filter if you want to try one out.
