This Habitat Hike will be a short walk down a forest road to a stunning wetland habitat. It is a little over 1 mile round trip. Those who are feeling adventurous may opt to hike further, up the side of Soapstone Mountain to a spectacular view of the Quabbin, though be advised this portion is difficult and will not be a part of the official hike. Please wear appropriate footwear and protect yourself against ticks.
Dogs are not allowed.
