Open Space Community Hike

Open Space Hike
Town Brook Hike
The Open Space Committee will lead a public hike along Town Brook, with commentary on and photos of the many factories and dams that formed this 18th and 19th century manufacturing corridor.  We will also discuss how the glaciers formed the inland ponds and how the melting created this small but surprisingly powerful river,  plus the process of dam removal and riverine restoration. The goal is to reach the footbridge at the outlet of Billington Sea.  This guided hike is free of charge.  As always, dress appropriately with sturdy footwear. 
 
Location:  meet at the Jenny Pond foot bridge. Ample parking available.
Date: Saturday February 27th, 2027
Time:  1 PM   The hike will last about 2 hours.
Distance: about 3.5 miles
Activity level: easy to moderate
Fee: free, but registration is strongly encouraged

 If the weather is questionable, or if there may be ice on the trail, call  774.454.1980 to confirm on that day.
