What we’re about
If you love to walk and meet people outside of the usual places, this group is for you. It's open to everyone of all ages. (It's not a hiking group -- we won't be climbing anything -- though hikers are welcome.) 😊
We'll visit some of the best spots, including safe trails, in Kennebec and Somerset counties. If the group grows, we can schedule visits farther away.
• Walks will average 2-4 miles.
• Lunch or dinner (including takeout, picnics, etc.) or visiting a nearby local event is an option after the walk.
• Meetings will last a few hours and take place mostly on weekends and occasional weekdays, like Fridays, at least twice a month.
It's a chance to get out more and meet new people while you enjoy a favorite pastime.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you and walking with you sometime.
Event cancellations/rescheduling: If there will be a major wind or rainstorm or it will be hot and humid without a breeze (80 degrees Fahrenheit or above), the event will be cancelled and rescheduled. I'll try to give at least 48 hours' notice.

Larone Woods - New Trail in Fairfield (Near Norridgewock)
Larone Woods, 202 Covell Road, Fairfield, ME, USJoin us for a pleasant loop along some well-maintained former logging roads, which feature many different types of trees. In between, we'll catch glimpses of the nearby Martin Stream below. The routes we'll take are mostly flat, with some wide and narrow paths.
If the ground isn't too soggy, we can also try another nearby trail, with some uneven spots, at 202 Covell Rd., where we'll meet/park (opposite the first trail).
Robin, a member of our group, and her husband recently donated Larone Woods to the Somerset Woods Trustees. At some point, a kiosk and map will be set up. Robin will guide us on these trails she and her husband walk regularly.
There are a few grassy sections; please wear proper footwear, including bug spray, and dress for the weather, which looks like it will be partly sunny in the mid-50s.
For a preview of the terrain, please see the attached photos.
Length: An hour to an hour and a half, depending on our pace and whether we do both trail sections. Lunch is an option afterward.
Where We'll Meet: At 202 Covell Rd.; as pictured, there's an electrical box with the numbers "202" in black and white. You may park on the gravel-covered grass here (off the street). If you use GPS, set it for "Larone Woods."
