Hop Field Trail at Thacher Park Walk

A loop running through woods with acidic soils and a large wetland.  The wetland portion can be very wet, so be prepared for mud.  Nancy Engel, leader.  Directions: Near the eastern entrance of the park, on the south side of Thacher Park Rd.; parking is about 1 mile east of the Visitor Center, just past the overlook.  The parking fee is $6, but on weekdays those 62 and older can get a free parking pass at the Visitor Center.
