About the event
We are starting from the Canoe Launch parking area, not at the base of the dam. This event is open to anyone who needs to complete the long, 20-mile hike for the Hiking Merit badge.
"Take four 10-mile hikes and one 20-mile hike, each on a different day, and each of continuous miles. Prepare a written hike plan before each hike and share it with your merit badge counselor or a designee for approval before starting the hike. Include map routes, a clothing and equipment list, and a list of items for a trail lunch. You may stop for as many short rest periods as needed, as well as one meal, during each hike, but not for an extended period such as overnight."
