Every Thursday evening in July and August of 2016, the Buffalo Orienteering Club will provide an opportunity to participate in an hour and a half long guided map hike beginning at 6 PM in Chestnut Ridge Park. A map hike is an orienteering course consisting of 25 controls and that course is available from May of one year until February of the next year. The first of these 8 hikes (on Thursday, July 7) will start at the Casino at Chestnut Ridge. Subsequent hikes may start at different places in the park, but we will always gather at the Casino. In order to go on any of these hikes, participants must purchase our 2016 Chestnut Ridge map hike map for $7. It will be available from the hike leader at the beginning of each hike. Anyone who has purchased the map earlier in the season may use the same map. Maps are also sold at Hyatt's and Gear for Adventure stores. The same map may be used for all of the 2016 guided map hikes, so a single purchase is necessary. This map will also be useful for individuals while hiking on their own in the park. The guided map hikes will take place on the park trails with a certain amount of off trail walking to locate some of the 25 map hike controls attached to trees throughout the park.
