Bachelor Brook Forest Trail
GUIDED TREK
Sunday, Dec. 8th, 1:00-3:00 PM
The South Hadley Bike-Walk Committee invites the public on a guided trek to explore the improved Forest Trail of the Bachelor Brook-Stony Brook Conservation Area. This trail, which also connects to the River-To-Range (R2R) Loop Trail, has been reconfigured and provides a more robust hiking experience for this trail network. The dirt and leaf-lined trail is almost two miles roundtrip in length and consists of flat portions and a few moderate and steep steady ascents and descents. Being in good physical condition to handle the terrain is necessary. Walking poles would be beneficial for those who are comfortable using them.
Meet at 12:45 PM at the trail’s dedicated parking lot on Rt. 47/Hadley Street (located at the bottom of the hill just past the Town Athletic Fields and Town Garden). From there, the trail will be walked in its entirety to the R2R Loop Trail with a return to the parking lot. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and safe footwear (be prepared for some possible wet conditions), and bring water. Post-trek, please join BWC members for light refreshments and socializing.
Non-enjoyable or hazardous inclement weather/conditions will force a cancellation. If cancelled, a Community News Alert will be posted on South Hadley Town’s website at www.southhadley.org.
