Hike with Active SWV and the Greenbrier County group around Lake Sherwood. On the 3.7 mile hike around Lake Sherwood, you will probably see beaver activity, reptiles, birds, and other wildlife. The trail, in the Lake Sherwood Recreation Area in the Monongahela National Forest, is fairly easy. Meet at The Hub in Lewisburg at 9:00 a.m. to carpool/caravan. Depending on the number of persons, additional drivers may be needed. It takes slightly over one hour to drive to Lake Sherwood. Bring a lunch and/or snacks. Hiking boots or shoes are recommended due to the distance and type of trail. If you are planning to stay for other activities on your own, bring supplies. (There is a changing room at the beach, which may or may not be open due to time of year. Creativity rules!) Registration to any Active SWV free programming indicates acceptance of our liability waiver for every adult and child attending. Please do not attend programs if you are not feeling well. https://rpb.li/rNo Regarding Community Captain Programs and groups of children: All Active SWV Community Captain programs are family friendly; children are invited to attend with the expectation of a parent/guardian ratio of 1 guardian adult to 5 children. It is our expectation for larger groups of children (e.g. Scouts, youth groups, etc), that an adult to child ratio of 1 adult to 5 children be observed in ages 5 and under, and 1 adult to 10 children be observed for ages 5 and above.
