Welcome to Hemlock Overlook once again! With sunny weather predicted, we've got some great European-style courses designed by Bjorn Skjaevestad. The park is in good condition, and while the map probably could use a few (more) updates, the fundamentals (i.e. contours and major features) are sound.
Event notes: Registration, start and finish will be in the main pavilion/shelter. Restrooms (and even showers with hot water!) are available just up the hill. Epunching will be in use, and dogs on leash are allowed in this park.
Driving & Parking note: Please drive carefully on Yates Ford Road - it's narrow and has blind curves. As for parking, it's often tight, so please carpool if possible.
Any youth or large groups attending, please contact Gary Smith so that we can coordinate pre-registration for your group; the group registration and waiver form is part of the information on our Group Leaders page.
