Itinerary:

This will be my final backpacking conditioning hike. This hike will be a little more challenging with lots of up hills and down hills. You should be able to wear a full back by this time.

We will hike for about 2-3 hrs with a break for lunch. I anticipate this trip to be about four hours including travel.

Those wishing to car pool we will meet at the WEM over-flow parking lot on 90 Ave. (near Boston Pizza). We will then drive in tandem to the parking lot at Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area.

If you do not want to carpool then meet us at the Chickakoo parking lot NO latter than 10:15 a.m.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Chickakoo Lake Park can be accessed by going north of Highway 16 on Highway 779, head west on Township Road 534, and follow the signs into the park. You can pick up a park brochure at the Parkland County Centre, or you can drop into the park and check out the well marked trails and trail maps located at the entrance to the park.

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

82Km

Carpool Departure Time:

9:15 AM

Carpool Location:

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $23.78 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Saturday, April 27, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
