Overview of Explore Quabbin Park via the Tower Trail and Webster Road Trail
This moderate guided hike will begin at the Tower Trail parking area which is located just inside the Middle Gate off Rt. 9 in Belchertown.
We will hike up to the Observation Tower and take in the scenic view. The tower is currently closed for the season so we won’t be able to go inside. We’ll then utilize a connector trail down to Webster Road, and then loop back to where we began.
In total, the hike will cover 2.8 miles. The trail to the tower gains 475 feet of elevation.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring water. MICROspikes or YAKTRAX that fit over your shoes, for increased traction, are recommended if snow or ice is expected on the trail.
Dogs are not allowed.
