Habitat Hikes - First Thursday of the month
Quabbin is an area of immense diversity of habitat, from shady vernal pools to sunny mountaintops. Staff from the DCR Les and Terry Campbell Quabbin Visitor Center Quabbin will be hosting hikes one Thursday each month (weather permitting) to spotlight some of these beautiful landscapes. Hikes will vary in location and intensity and may focus on an individual species or on a more general area.
Tower Trail Habitat Hike
3 miles - Moderate
This hike will meet at the parking area inside the Middle Entrance off Route 9. https://goo.gl/maps/9K3L4xf44nbVK4bG7.
This is a moderately difficult hike, approximately 3 miles round-trip up Quabbin Hill through woodland and mountain habitat and back. Due to safety issues, we will not be able to go up to the tower itself, as it is currently closed for renovations. Please wear proper footing and dress prepared for ticks/biting insects.
Dogs are not allowed.
