Back by popular demand .... the East Hampton Trail Maps!

EDITORS NOTE: If you ever considered joining the “group out east” on a hike this would be a good month to do so.  If only it were possible, I would enjoy every event that EHTPS offers this month.

Starting time for the month of September will return to our normal 10AM. To take advantage of the lovely late summer weather we have scheduled two kayak outings. For additional hike information please call .

There will be NO September Members Meeting.
