Overview

Meet at Mass Central Rail Trail - Sterling Spur, 25 Gates Road, Sterling. 

Explore what the wild things in the watershed are up to this Spring on a guided sensory adventure designed for explorers of all abilities! We’ll take a slow, 3/4-mile round-trip stroll to listen and look for "telltale" signs of forest life. With a flat trail and 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.
