The Kellys Run gorge is quintessential Susquehanna Riverlands. Over eons, the Kellys Run stream has contributed to erosional processes that have exposed outcrops of the underlying geology and established cooler, more humid microclimates that support plant communities typically found in more northern latitudes or higher altitudes.
What to Expect: This event is for ages 10 and up (all participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Restroom is available on site. We will meet at the Kellys Run Nature preserve parking area near the intersection of Street Rd. and Crystal Dr. This moderately difficult hike will explore the geology, geomorphology and bio geography of this beautiful gorge. While we cant guarantee bloom time, this hike is in the window of extensive rhododendron blooms. The trail is rugged with multiple short rock outcrop scrambles and steep long climbs.
What to Bring: Dress for the weather, and bring drinking water.
Refund Policy: If you are unable to attend this event after purchasing a ticket, refund requests must be made at least 48 hours before the event.
Cancellation Policy: This event will be held rain or shine, with cancellation for severe weather made at the time of the event. If the Conservancy reschedules the event, attendees will be emailed and tickets will be automatically moved to the new date. If the Conservancy cancels the event, attendees will be notified via email when possible and refunded.
