For chapter members who will first walk the Camino in 2025 and are unable to attend this event, we will have shells available at all future hikes so that no one will miss an opportunity to receive a shell before their initial Camino hike.
TRAIL DETAILS:
The Milford Trail is a flat paved trail for walking, jogging, and biking that connects the Milford Library and YMCA with the popular Kensington Metropark Dairy Queen (now closed) in Oakland County.
The total one-way walking distance is approximately 3.6 miles from the Milford Library to the Kensington Metropark Dairy Queen (now closed).
So, a total of about 7.2 miles for the hike, BUT we can make the hike shorter for those who cannot commit the time.
