Directions

From Rt. 896 and Old Baltimore Pike (1^st light south of I-95 if coming from Newark – next light past Glasgow High School if coming from Rt. 40)

- turn west on Old Baltimore Pike (left from South, right from North), go 1.0 mile

- turn right onto Whitaker, travel about 0.5 mile

- turn right into Iron Hill Park Entrance, travel about 1.0 mile (7 speed bumps) all the way in

- there is a pavilion up on the far end of the lot, lots of parking

We can meet at the pavilion, which is the start of one of the trails. Also, although the pavilion is to be reserved, there is a high probability that it will not be used Saturday in the morning, so we probably will have it for after the hike.
