Description: Join other folks in their 20s/30s+ for an early evening walk/hike across the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area! We'll meet at the Cooke Ave parking area, carpool to the North Farms Rd. trailhead, and begin our hike along the boardwalk toward the lake. The Lake Trail will bring us to the dam, which we'll cross before continue along the trail and Boggy Meadow Road which will return us to the Cooke Ave parking area. The ~2 mi hike (including shuttling) will take ~1.5 hours, and is relatively flat. Expect it to be a little muddy at times, particularly along the Lake Trail and a section of Boggy Meadow Road.
After the hike, we’ll head to the Toasted Owl (Northampton) for dinner, totally optional, but a great way to keep the conversation going!
Dogs are allowed, and must be leashed at all times; please let the leader(s) know if you intend to bring your pup!
