The Cumberland Land Trust will host 2 and 4 mile “Walk off the Turkey” guided hikes (your choice) at the Mercy Woods Preserve on Friday, November 28 (Black Friday) at 10:00 am. The Preserve trailhead is located on Sumner Brown Road in Cumberland, just a short distance from the Wrentham Road (Route 121) intersection.
The 229 acres of land now known as Mercy Woods was sold by the Sisters of Mercy to the Town of Cumberland in 2018, has remained as open space and is managed and maintained by the Cumberland Land Trust. There are a total of 5.7 miles of marked trails in Mercy Woods.
The 2 mile hike is considered easy to moderate while the 4 mile hike is considered moderate + because of the longer distance and additional elevation changes. Footing can be rocky at times so please wear supportive athletic shoes. Also, don’t forget water for hydration and additionally, deer ticks are active year-round so consider insect protection.
Hikers will experience beautiful woodlands, historic stone walls and ridge views. Many of the trails were originally historical farmers’ cart paths while additional trails were cut and blazed by the Land Trust after the land was transferred to the Town.
Young hikers are invited to join us on the guided hike. Though leashed dogs are usually allowed on our trails, in respect to the other hikers, dogs are not allowed on the guided hike.
Trail maps can be downloaded at cumberlandlandtrust.org.
