During yet another reprieve from fall, we ventured up to Burkhart Woods off of South Mountain Drive near Emmaus. This piece of property is part of the Wildlands Conservancy in Emmaus. We were joined by our friends E, A, and their mommy. I stumbled upon this trailhead while driving home from Emmaus one day in the early fall. Since I didn't stop immediately to pick up a trail map or note the address it took me about a month to find it again.
Snuggled in among private property and residences it is very easy to miss this trailhead. There is a series of short interconnected trails that just meander through this wooded, hillside. While the trails weren't always clearly marked we did manage to find our way easily back to the cars.
The trails were wide and easy to hike. The two older children ran ahead while the two younger children hiked for most of our visit but both got tired and needed to be carried. This is the perfect place to venture if you are looking for a simple, quick hike. It is probably lovely in spring and fall during the leaf change. Another great place to take the family. Get outdoors!
