Saturday, September 28, 2024
8:00 am start (ends at your own pace)
(Rain Date: Saturday, October 5th)
The Cross-Island Hike starts at the beach at the end of Hoick’s Hollow Road in ‘Sconset and ends at Settler’s Landing in Madaket.
Things to Know:
There will be Land Bank staff members hiking and along the route. Since not all hikers walk at the same pace, please note the Cross-Island Hike markers for changes in direction.
Please respect your physical capabilities when planning which segment(s) you choose to hike, noting the distance between checkpoints. We will be setting a brisk pace for this eight hour hike, so if you choose to hike the whole way, prepare for a long day.
Please wear appropriate shoes, bring sun-screen (or rain gear), insect repellent, lunch and a refillable water bottle. There will be water available at all checkpoints and fruit and snacks. There will be a few port-a-potties along the way.
The hike will be on trails, dirt roads, bike paths, beaches and paved roads. Please use caution on roadways and bike paths. As always, watch out for poison ivy and check for ticks.
