Borderlands State Park (6 miles, rigorous pace) w/ Optional Brewery After

Let's do a nice hike in Borderlands State Park. Meet late morning, and do approximately 6 miles at a good clip (it will be flat so we want a good workout!). The hike I'm thinking of is a loop including Bay Circuit Trail and Granite Hills trail. If you have AllTrails, you can read about it here. It's rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by ~300 reviewers. Should take us about 2-2.5 hours.

Afterwards, those who wish to can head over to Shoveltown Brewery. They serve food, so we can eat lunch there. Their website is here if you want to check it out.

Rules/other stuff:

We will go at rigorous pace, about 2.5-3 miles an hour (terrain will be pretty easy, relatively flat ground). You should be in good shape.

This hike is dog-friendly (I'm bringing mine). If you want to bring your dog, contact me first. Only dogs who are well behaved around other dogs and people are allowed.

Fee: There is a fee for the state park. It's $5/car for MA residents, and higher for out of state. Let's save money by carpooling.
