Situated in a quiet little corner of Somerset County is a neat little park that offers a variety of scenery. Although very popular with bird watchers, Lord Stirling Park offers much more than just that. Nestled within this piece of the Great Swamp are several ponds, beautiful woodlands, fresh water marshes and beautiful meadows. Please join us in this peaceful walk through nature with good company!

After our adventure, we will optionally go out to eat for lunch.

Hike Leader:

Hiking boots are strongly recommended and 2 liters of water is required. Hiking boots will help keep the mud out of your feet when hiking as the trail may have a few wet spots.

Do not use the entrance on South Maple Ave, as those are only the stables.
