Explore the Gorge Hike

June 27, 2026

Learn more about your local preserve on an

approximately 1-mile paved hike along the bike trail. Discover how Blackhand Gorge got

its name, the industries that shaped the area, and the animals and plants that call the

gorge home now. Join us at the Toboso parking lot, just under 20 minutes from Newark.

Note: The bike trail is the only pet friendly trail in the preserve.
