About Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area: The Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area is spread across over 480 acres of woodlands and encompasses several small lakes and ponds, including its namesake Chickakoo Lake. There are 11 km of hiking trails at Chickakoo Lake with route options suitable for a range of hiking abilities.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Tuesday, December 3, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
