February Winter Walks along the Panther Trail Scheduled
MARLBOROUGH: Would you like to get a “sneak peek” of the future Panther trail along the Sudbury Reservoir, well then, this hike is for you. The official opening of the entire 26.2-mile trail is planned for later this yearm but February walks are being held to introduce people to this great trail and build excitement:
Saturdays, February 12 & 19, 2022: 10am-12pm (4-mile roundtrip)
Sundays, February 13 & 20, 2022: 1pm-3pm (2-mile roundtrip)
Rain/Snow dates: February 26 & 27, 2022.
Join in for one or all of these guided walks along the northern shores of the reservoir.
As we enjoy the crisp winter air and remarkable water views along the reservoir, you’ll hear about the history of the Sudbury Reservoir, why protection of the reservoir land is so important and also learn about the creation of this marathon length Panther trail – entirely in Marlborough.
Saturday morning walks park along Danjou Drive and meet your walk leader here. Walk together to the Sherman Road trailhead to begin. This is a 4-mile roundtrip walk which will take about 3.5 hours. To register, visit www.eventbrite.com/e/winter-walk-on-the-panther-trail-tickets-257977476577.
Sunday afternoon walks park at the Callahan State Park lot off Broadmeadow Street. Meet there and walk to the Broadmeadow Road trailhead near the Parmenter Road intersection. This is a 2-mile round trip which will take about 2 hours. To register, visit www.eventbrite.com/e/258075600067.
Please dress warmly. These walks are good for anyone who would enjoy a walk in nature and is comfortable walking on unpaved ground. If the ground is snow or ice covered, you may prefer to also use micro spikes on your shoes and/or walking poles. If snow is deep, you are welcome to bring snowshoes.
