With daylight hours in decline and frosty overnights on the rise, we invite you to experience the changing seasons on a broad-based nature walk at the Jug Bay Natural Area in Prince Georges’ County. Situated on the western shore of the Patuxent River, this vast park protects old field, bottomland and upland forest, and freshwater tidal habitats. We’ll hike up to 4 miles, on a mixture of natural surface and paved trails, as we enjoy the last hurrah of fall and the early signs of (inevitable!) winter. Trails may be muddy. Expect some mild uphill and downhill and a pace that is faster than our usual Naturalists’ Shuffle.
