Join us for a walk at Middlesex Fells Park in Winchester MA  on July 16.  We will walk around the North Reservoir which is about three to four miles.  It is almost totally shaded and the path is wide and cleared though there are the usual tree roots and rocks which make it moderately difficult. Since it is shaded, we should be “cool”  but if it promises to be in the 90s and humid, we will cancel.

Middlesex Fells Reservation is located in Malden, Medford, Stoneham, Melrose, and Winchester, all a short distance away from Boston, MA.  It is nearly 3000 acres in total. The Fells’ visitor center is located in the historic John Bottume House at 4 Woodland Rd. in Stoneham, MA. For more information, visit the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation website.

We will meet near 14 Reservoir St in Winchester.  This is a private local house address; I could find no park address near the entry to the Reservation. There is a tennis court across the street from the place we will enter the park where we can meet.  You can park your car anywhere along Reservoir Street or the side streets next to it.

After our hike, we can meet downtown Winchester for lunch.  There are multiple small restaurants in the town. I suggest the Bagel Bar (11 Thompson St.).  They have sandwiches and we can eat outdoors.

Please be sure to cancel online if you need to or call if canceling the day of the hike.
