If you’re looking for a quiet weekend to escape all the hustle and bustle of a commercial Christmas, try heading out to the North Quabbin Area for a quiet weekend. There are lots of parks with great snowshoeing trails.
The Inn at Clamber Hill has it’s own trails right out the back door and into Harvard Forest, but there are also trails at the Quabbin Reservoir, Dunn Pond State Park in Gardner, the James W. Brooks Woodland Preserve and the Women’s Federated State Forest in Petersham, and Lake Dennison State Park in Winchendon has miles and miles and miles of trails.
And if you don’t own snow shoes but would like to rent or purchase them, contact either Jim Jackson at Rocky Ridge Outfitters or Paul Anderson at Trailhead Inc. Both gentlemen are more than willing to help you.
So no excuses, come enjoy the great outdoors this winter!
