On Saturday, Sept. 19, join a six-mile hike around Fremont’s wonderful historic urban and rural areas. The hike begins at Irvington Plaza Park, with an option for a group hike or self-paced, using a guide with directions (available at the check in table).
Beginning at historic downtown Irvington (Five Corners) at the intersection of Washington and Fremont Boulevards, we will find an urban trail leading to Central Park’s Nature Trail, then on to Lake Elizabeth, to see the flood control water channel and maybe catch a glimpse of the BART train as it dives into the tunnel beneath the lake.
Following the creek uphill on urban trails will allow panoramic views of the hills. Crossing from Mission Creek to Sabercat Watershed, we will descend along the trail flanked by native riparian woodland and open rolling hills, out to a bluff with fabulous views of the Bay all the way to San Francisco.
Continuing on the descent back to our starting point we will cross the BART tracks and reflect on the historical remnants of the community’s agricultural heritage of wine and produce production.
This urban hike will be led by Caroline Harris and Patricia Schaffarczyk.
This event is free, but donations will be accepted. For more information contact 510.623.7907 or email in**@******************ry.org.
