We’ll do the rougher bushwhacking part of this hike above French Creek before lunch. Bring water, lunch and/or money to purchase lunch at the Camp Hill Coffee Shop, the half-way point in hike!
DIRECTIONS: From the intersection of Routes 23 and 113, west of Phoenixville, take Route 113 south 1.4 miles to a right fork onto Kimberton Rd. Go a short distance and make a right and fast left onto Seven Stars Rd, then go about 1/4 mile to East Pikeland Elementary School on the right, make a left there onto Hares Hill Rd, then make a quick right on Mill Lane, drive to the end of it and park on the right. OR: If going north on Route 113, from the South and Route 401, make a left onto Hares Hill Rd and then a left onto Mill Lane. If you hit Seven Stars Rd you’ve gone too far. Go back 150 ft.!
