Lincoln Parks (Day Trip)

Enjoy the cooler weather with the Co-op while we day hike around Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and Lincoln State Park.

We'll make a loop around Lake Lincoln in the State Park and finish with a loop in the Boyhood National Memorial. A net of 7 miles, with an early dropout option at 5 miles. Our main loop will consist of parts of Trails 1 and 2, the Firetower Trail, Boyhood Nature Trail, and Trail of Twelve Stones.

• Distance: 7 miles (with option to stop at 5 miles)
• Difficulty: easy to moderate, but with steep inclines
• Trail Types: Mostly dirt, with some gravel and paved stretches

Plan to meet at Lowe's at 8:30a (CST). We'll carpool, to Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and hike into the State Park. Hiking begins at 9:30a (CST). Lunch will be eaten on the trail. We'll wrap up and return to Evansville by 3:30p (CST).
