Lets take a walk starting from Norwottuck bike path in Belchertown. We haven't walked this section before, so it will be something slightly different. Tree lined path is paved and relatively flat. Abundant wildlife: birds, beavers, deer, chipmonks, porcupine, turtles, and perhaps a fox if we are lucky.

Meetup at the [Norwottuck Rail Trail parking area](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jBnQZb1G1sL9SdFi9).
The closest "house" address is: **394 Warren Wright Rd, Belchertown.**
