Make New Friends Hiking

Cold-weather hiking is uniquely enjoyable, and this winter, we have been visiting some regional tri-state parks. Zaleski State Forest is the last of our 2025 Winter Hikes and a great opportunity to make new friends that you can connect and hike with all summer long. We have found nature in the Midwest’s winter months offers different perspectives, with more unobstructed views of the terrain, and a quieter, bug-free hike. So layer up and let’s go hiking!

You do not have to be a member of Countryside YMCA to participate in this event. *Must be age 18 or older. Hikes are scheduled from 9 am to 5 pm but are subject to change.

Reserve your spot. As we get closer, Jeff Ensman will contact you with more details on time, meeting location, transportation, and more. You can also email Jeff.Ensman@ymcastaff.org with questions.
