Reading Town Forest and Lunch

Enjoy this holiday weekend with an easy hike Monday through meadows and over wetlands to the pine ridge and along Ipswich River. Then join us for a light lunch at the Mandarin Restaurant, across the road from REI (outdoor store). Terrain is moderate in places, but the distance is less than 3 miles and 50 ft. elevation changes. Good habitat for birds and other wildlife. Depending upon trail conditions, we may be more on the network of fire roads and less on the trails.

Remember the rules:

• You are all adults and are expected to make decisions about your own safety and physical abilities.
• Wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring water.
• Foot traction devices and/or poles helpful if icy.
• Move to the side for oncoming walkers on narrow trails.
• If you decide to return to your car early or leave the group for any other reason, tell someone.
• If you are struggling or need assistance, tell someone.
• Be friendly. Be social. Have fun.
