SOUTH HADLEY— On Sunday, February 4, 2024 at 1:00pm the South Hadley Bike/Walk Committee will host a free guided Trek at the Ledges Golf Club, 18 Mulligan Road, South Hadley, a property owned by the Town of South Hadley. Pat Tracey and Jim Buckley will lead the Trek. Come and enjoy the outdoors on a Sunday afternoon between football playoff games and the Superbowl! Winter is a great time to explore the course, using paths normally reserved for golfing carts. During the off season the paths may be enjoyed for exercise, photography, and high-level views of the area, including Mount Tom on the other side of the Connecticut River. The grounds offer an opportunity for safe, non-vehicular passive recreation, such as walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Visitors should avoid the tees and greens, being careful not to damage fairway areas.
Meet at 12:45pm in front of the Ledges Clubhouse. The Club’s parking lot is located on the right before the circle by the Clubhouse. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and hiking boots or other appropriate footwear, and bring water and walking poles, if desired. If there is snow on the ground, participants may wish to use cross-country skis or snowshoes. Please be aware that the club facilities, including restrooms, are closed for the season. Participants of all ages and new Trekkers are always welcomed!
Treks are subject to change or cancellation due to weather or ground conditions. Please be sure to check the Bike/Walk page on the Town website for any cancellation notices or other information at: https://www.southhadley.org/bikewalk. Should there be a cancellation decision, information will be posted online by 10:00am on the day of the hike. A PDF map showing Ledges Trek routes is available at: Ledges Golf Course-Trek Routes Map.
