Nature Fun For Seniors
Summertime offerings for seniors include bike rides, naturalist-led hikes and Elderberries experiences.
Seniors who enjoy a good bike ride may bring their bicycles to the Park Avenue trailhead parking area behind Marc’s in Chardon, with a helmet and water, and join escorted rides this summer along The Maple Highlands Trail. No registration is required. Geauga Cyclists head out at 3 p.m. every Wednesday through October for roughly an hour and a half. To receive notice when rides are cancelled, call Sandy McLeod at 440-279-2137 to be added to her cancellation call list.
