Description

Join us for one or the entire series of winter walks on the Panther trail along the shores of the Sudbury Reservoir in Marlborough. Get a “sneak peek” of the future Panther trail along the Sudbury Reservoir. The official opening of the entire 26.2-mile trail is planned for later this year. We are hosting these February walks to introduce people to this great trail and build excitement. Join us for one or all of these February 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. WHEN: Saturdays February 12 and 19, 2022: 10:00-1:30 (4-mile roundtrip) Sundays February 13 and 20, 2022: 1:00-3:00 (2-mile roundtrip) Rain/Snow dates : February 26 and 27, 2022 (4-mile and 2-mile roundtrips) Saturday morning walks park along Danjou Drive and meet your walk leader here. We will walk together to the Sherman Rd. trailhead to begin our walk. This is a 4- mile roundtrip walk which will take about 3.5 hours. Sunday afternoon walks park at the Callahan State Park lot off Broadmeadow Street. We will meet there and walk to the trailhead near the Parmenter Road intersection. This is a 2- mile round trip walk which will take about 2 hours. 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 use micro spikes on your shoes and/or walking poles. If snow is deep, you are welcome to bring snowshoes.
