Goddess Hike: Turkey Swamp (Freehold, NJ)

A restorative and soul-filling hike for Black women ready to rise, reconnect, and grow in community. Join us for our October Goddess Hike at Turkey Swamp Park, a peaceful, tree‑lined forest loop that captures everything we love about fall hiking in New Jersey. This 4‑mile trail winds through tall pines, quiet wetlands, and soft leaf‑covered paths — the perfect place to slow down, breathe deeper, and welcome the changing season. October in Turkey Swamp brings crisp air, golden light, and the first hints of fall color. We’ll move at a steady, conversational pace, pausing to take in the stillness, the shifting leaves, and the grounding energy of the woods. Whether you’re joining us to reset, reconnect, or simply enjoy a gentle autumn morning in community, you’ll be in beautiful company. WHAT TO EXPECT: • A guided 4‑mile hike through the forest • A welcoming, supportive community of Black women hikers • Gentle grounding moments to open and close our time together • A pace that balances movement, conversation, and reflection MEET-UP DETAILS: 8:45 AM — We gather, greet, stretch, and set intentions before stepping onto the trail. For safety reasons, exact trail details will be shared in the event reminder sent on the Friday before the hike. WHO THIS IS FOR: Black women seeking community, joy, grounding, and movement in nature. Whether it’s your first hike or your fiftieth, you are welcome here. WHY WE GATHER: Camping Noire hikes are designed to offer more than miles — they offer space. Space to breathe, to reconnect, to be witnessed, and to move at a pace that honors your body. Every hike is an invitation to return to yourself and to the land. Come as you are. Leave a little lighter, a little clearer, and a little more connected! See you on the trails!
