Trial by Trail V:
Walk on Water
Get ready to stretch those legs, breathe in that crisp air, and join us for a scenic stroll around Lake Williams in Marlborough! Whether you want to power-walk, jog, or just leisurely amble while pretending you know how to bird-watch, this meetup is for you.
đź“… When & Where
Date: Saturday, October 17thTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Sharp! Don't make us wait on the boardwalk.)
Meeting Spot: Near the trailhead. You can park along Lizotte Drive or use the lower lot of the Marlborough District Court (45 Williams Street).
🗺️ The Game Plan
We are tackling the loop trail and doing 2 full laps to make sure we officially get our steps in for the day (about 3 miles total). The path has it all: shady woods, mature trees, a hill with a view, and a spectacular half-mile floating boardwalk that lets you walk right over the water without getting your shoes wet.
🍔 The Reward (Lunch to Follow!)
After crushing our two laps, we are heading straight to The Fix Burger Bar at 139 Lakeside Ave for lunch. Their handmade, custom-ground burgers are legendary, but don't worry if burgers aren't your thing—their menu has plenty of other amazing options like massive salads, custom bowls, chicken sandwiches, and crunchy appetizers. Plus, they pour great beers, mix amazing cocktails, and whip up milkshakes using house syrups. They truly believe a trip to The Fix is the best medicine, and honestly, we will have earned it!
🛑 The "Please Don't Get Us Arrested" Rules
Because Lake Williams is a sensitive backup water supply for the city, the local rangers do not play around. To keep our group on the good side of the law, please remember:
Leave the fur babies at home: Strictly no pets allowed.
Leave the rods at home: No fishing.
Stay out of the water: No swimming, wading, or boating. We will be strictly admiring the water from a safe, dry distance!
Bring some water, throw on your favorite sneakers, and let’s enjoy nature (and dynamic lunch menus) together. See you all there
