Dr. Jack Shephard (played by Matthew Fox ) was a spinal surgeon
and the de facto leader of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
Jack was commonly looked upon as the leader of the survivors and
was on good terms with everyone, especially Kate and Juliet. Jack
and five other survivors managed to escape the island by using a
helicopter from the freighter, although they were forced to leave
everyone else behind when Ben moved the island.
Since the rescue, Jack learned of his family relation to Claire
and Aaron, laid his father to rest and became engaged to Kate.
Unfortunately, certain events, including a visit from Jeremy
Bentham and visions of his father, caused his resolve to collapse.
A broken man addicted to pills and alcohol, Jack flew every week in
the hopes his plane would crash and he would find his way back to
the Island so he could fix all the bad things that had been
happening there and rescue everyone left behind.
However, Ben informed him that the Island won't let him come
alone; all of them had to go back, including the late Bentham. Jack
later returned to the island after crashing while aboard Ajira
Flight 316.
Please note to pick up a trail map at the Education Center.
Please use the trails wisely, a direct route is not the best route.
Please follow the winding trails and boardwalks for limited
bushwhacking.
The scenic Lord Sterling park offers 8 1/2 miles of Nice
hiking trails, with more then 3 miles of boardwalks. Bordering the
Great Swamp National wildlife Refuge and the Passaic river, parts
of this area is prone to flooding. While hiking it is recommended
to wear boots, as areas can be muddy.
Please protect yourself during the warmer months from
mosquitoes and ticks.
