Holland and O'Brien Lakes Trail — Sunday Evening Hike
August 16, 2026 · 5:00 PM

Join us at Lebanon Hills Regional Park for a 5.7-mile loop around Holland and O'Brien Lakes — a solid Sunday evening hike through woods, rolling terrain, and quiet lakeside stretches. This one's got a little more distance and elevation than our usual easy hikes, so come ready to move.

We hike together. We leave no one behind.
