Join the Friends of Myles Standish State Forest for our yearly long Spring hike, a 10+ mile point to point hike through the second half of the 8 Ponds Pass trail. This new 17.4 mile trail traverses wilder sections of Plymouth via Wildlands Trust and Town of Plymouth preserves and some remote and quiet sections of Myles Standish State Forest. This hike will pass by a few of Plymouth most significant ponds, including Long, Little Long Pond, Gallows and Halfway pond. A new proposed extension continues into Myles Standish State Forest, using the Pine Barrens Path Trail, passing by Doctor's Pond before ending at East Head Reservoir.
This will be a continuation of hikes offered in December and March that were well received. We are offering this hike in place of the Wishbone Trail done in past years. Most of the hike is flat with a few rolling small hills.
Bring along a trail lunch and snacks and at least two liters of water and bug spray. Included will be a 15-20 minute lunch break.
We will meet at Myles Standish Headquarters before car pooling over to the Wildlands Trust HQ on Long Pond Road where we will start our hike. The hike will finish back at MSSF Headquarters.
