Join us for an exclusive nature and history hike around the historic, seldom visited and picturesque Hoopes Reservoir near Greenville, DE. Completed in 1933 as a water source for Wilmington, this area is owned by the City of Wilmington and has been closed to the public since 1971. Our group will hike from the 100-foot dam through the woodlands and around coves to Valley Garden Park. Waterfowl and Bald Eagles should be using the reservoir at this time. Bring a bag lunch, water, binoculars and wear sturdy walking shoes. Terrain is steep in several places. Van transportation provided. Led by Joe Sebastiani and Sally O'Byrne
