Enjoy a hike on this fun trail in Emma Long Metropolitan Park. Turkey Creek Trail is 2.5 miles long and has multiple creek crossing (usually you can get across easily with the stepping stones, but if there have been recent heavy rains, bring shoes/boots you don’t mind getting wet). Dogs are allowed off-leash on this trail, so you must be comfortable with dogs if you plan to attend. Meet at the big trail map sign by the parking lot.

Note: you need to go a little bit past the Google Map location, and then you’ll see a large parking lot on the right. The trailhead is before the main Emma Long park entrance, so there aren’t any park entry fees for this trail!

Whether you’ve read the book or not, please register to join us on Wednesday, January 11th at 7:00pm. We will gather over Zoom to discuss the book, interspersed with highlights of the students' on-campus discussion with the author at the Pre-read assembly during Orientation.

Published by Princeton University Press in 2021, the book is based on Jordan Salama’s senior thesis, in which he recounts his experiences as he traveled along the Magdalena River in Colombia while he was an undergraduate. Salama describes the people he met and the cultures he encountered during his travels with distinctive warmth and empathy. Please see President Eisgruber's post in the PAW here.
