Description/ What to Expect: Lush Boyce Mayview Park houses some incredible biodiversity thanks to the wetlands located on site. Join Kim for a moderate hike down the boardwalk-style trail to the Duckbill Loop where you will see fish, geese, herons, frogs and more! This trail has taken on some damage from recent flooding and has some narrow ledges. We recommend trekking poles and will have some on hand for those without. This hike is designed for folks who can comfortably walk 3 miles without stopping. Please make sure that you are signing up for an appropriate level of difficulty. If you are a beginner or need to build up your stamina, we recommend the Age 50+ Walk & Learn Series.

Trip Leader: Kim is a mom of five who is working toward a goal of hiking all 124 Pennsylvania State Parks. During that process, she has gained a strong following of folks who are invested in her goal and interested in her unique perspective on the trails, their assets and their shortcomings (ask her about killer flies!). She has curated this series of hikes for experience hikers, age 50+ who are looking to explore the Pittsburgh region in locations maybe they haven’t frequented as often.
