This event is for Seacoast Village Project Members and Portsmouth Senior Activity Center Members Only

Please note that the registration deadline is May 19

Most of the hikers will have participated in a previous hike at Pawtuckaway State Park on May 13. For Part 2 of the Adventure Hikes we will go to Cardigan Lodge. Cardigan Lodge is in a beautiful, remote area next to Mount Cardigan State Forest. The first day we will meet at Portsmouth Senior Activity Center at 8:45 AM. We will have lunch when we arrive, then do an easy hike, and later participate in an activity offered by an on-site naturalist. We will spend the night at Cardigan Lodge. Rooming will be with 2-3 individuals in lower-level bunks. Sheets and towels are provided, along with hot showers. On June 26 we will have hike options that can be discussed as a group the night before. The naturalist will be available if anyone just wants to stay around the lodge and do a nature walk. After our day’s activity, we will prepare to come back home in the van. This should be a fun excursion for everyone.

Note: All individuals who already registered for the May 13 hike will be automatically registered. Others should register. Cancellations will be refunded up to 14 days before the hike. 

Transportation cost: For those going in the van: $7.00 in cash upon arrival. Portsmouth Senior Activity Center has a 13-seat van which will be the primary source of transportation for the group. Please note in your comments whether you are taking the van or your own vehicle.
