Solstice Walk

Saturday, December 21, 6:00-8:00 pm.

Free with no registration required.

The solstice signals the beginning of winter and marks the longest night of the year in our Northern Hemisphere. CCEEC celebrates with a quiet, self-guided walk through woods and fields, with luminarias along the way.

The lighted trail leads roughly a quarter mile out to the edge of Mauch Chunk Lake, then returns by the same route. A few short stops along the way allow participants to listen for owl calls. Cocoa, cookies, and a small nature craft station can be enjoyed afterwards.

The evening is free for everyone, with no registration required. If cancelled or postponed due to bad weather, notice will be made here and on CCEEC's facebook page.
