Exploring the North Side of the Quabbin Watershed via Gate 29
2.4 miles - Moderate
Join us for a 2.4-mile out/back hike on Quabbin’s north side of the watershed. We will be walking through the forest on a dirt road and ending at the shoreline of the reservoir. Walking to the water, the hike covers 1.2-miles and relatively little change in elevation. We will then backtrack and head out the way we came in. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring water and snacks.
Hike begins at Quabbin Reservoir’s Gate 29. The parking area is located on the south side of Rt. 202 (Daniel Shays Highway) in New Salem.
Dogs are not allowed.
