Meet at Mass Central Rail Trail - Sterling Spur, 25 Gates Road, Sterling.
Join us for a family-friendly, not-so-spooky walk as we explore what wild things in the watershed are up to this autumn. This is a ¾ mile round trip on flat terrain and is open to all ages and abilities; with benches to rest, this inclusive outing is stroller and wheelchair accessible.
No dogs are allowed on DCR watershed properties. Service and medical support animals, when acting within their service capacity, are welcome.
Hike will be a slow pace and last about one hour. In the case of inclement weather, hike may be cancelled or modified. To check on hike status please call 774-261-1809 or email Kathryn.Parent@mass.gov.
