Our first Pride Outside event of 2025!

Saturday, May 17
10am

Join us for a hike and some virtual birding fun with Nature Up North at Clear Pond, south of Parishville. Download the Merlin app (you’ll need to make an account and then download the US Northeast bird pack) to participate in birding, or just come and hike with us! Bring water and wear comfy clothes and your longest rainbow socks to keep those ticks away. (Other long socks might work, too.)

See https://www.stlctrails.com/trails/trail/clear-pond-trails for more specific information on the trail and how to find the trailhead. The Clear Pond Trailhead is south of Parishville at the end of Clear Pond Road, 2 miles off of White Hill Road.

Some cars might struggle to make it on the dirt access road (Clear Pond Rd). If you’re worried about your car, park on White Hill Rd at the start of Clear Pond Rd and we’ll have a couple of vehicles waiting to carpool to the trailhead.
