2025 Wellness Walks

Enjoy a moderately paced volunteer-led walk around Wildwood Lake while enjoying the trees and animals at the park. This will be a walk on paved, gravel, and dirt surfaces. You can choose to walk only a portion of the way and then turn around at any point if you would like to customize the length of your walk to your individual fitness goals. A great way to walk with a group and stay committed year-round!

What to know before you go:

Sneakers or comfortable walking shoes are recommended
We encourage you to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated 
A restroom is available at the walking site
Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash
Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult
Free parking is available 

NOTE: These walks will not occur if the weather is inclement or if there is snow or ice on the trail. You will receive an email at least 1-hour before the program start time should the program need to be canceled.

Pre-registration is required so that we can notify you if the walk is canceled due to inclement weather or slippery trail conditions. Please check your email 1-hour before the start time for any last-minute weather cancellations or updates.

Walks will occur each Wednesday beginning at 1:00 PM through May 28, 2025. For June, July & August we will move the time to 6:30 - 7:30 PM so that you can walk at a time when hopefully the weather is a bit more comfortable. Walks will resume at the 1:00 time beginning on September 3 - December 17, 2025.
