Muddy hike! at Broadmeadow Brook

It might be muddy, but it should be fun! Hopefully the weather will cooperate!

Broad Meadow Brook has a number of trails, all welld-marked and easy to hike. We will take things at a VERY gentle pace. Plan on about a two-hour hike! Kids welcome.
Sorry, no dogs.

What to bring/wear:
Dress in layers! No cotton! Gaiters are a good idea and a waterproof jacket. Wool socks, hat and gloves. Small backpack to stow the layers in (you will get warm as you hike!) and at least a quart of HEATED water. Trail mix or energy bar.
