Details

For Part 2 of the Minuteman Trail, we'll walk the west half of the battle road trail to Meriam's corner. Less than a 5-mile walk (out and back) on the gently winding and rolling battle road at Minuteman National Park in Lincoln. The trail is a well-maintained crushed stone surface about 8-10 feet wide and boardwalks over marshy areas. We will start walking at 9:40 am.

Bring a sandwich, beverage and folding chair, if you wish, for the end of the walk near the Hartwell Tavern premises.

For GPS directions use 112 North Great Rd in Lincoln.
IF THIS LOT IS STILL CLOSED, an alternative parking area also close to the trails will be announced by messaging registered attendees.
