This hike was cancelled twice this spring because of the weather.  Having said that, back by popular demand (okay--just one person), I'm reposting this.   Join us for a hike in Leominster State Forest of Rocky Pond, Ball Hill, and Lower Crow Hill Pond Trail.  The trail is 6.5 miles long with 862' of elevation gain.  There is a link to the AllTrails map below.  Be sure to bring proper footwear, a lunch, water, the 10 essentials of hiking (link below), pom poms, a bottle of bubbles, butterfly wings, and a unicorn.  Or just the 10 essentials and lunch; your choice.  I hope you can join us!

There is a small parking lot at Rocky Pond Trailhead.  This is approximately 2.5 miles south on Route 31 from Route 2--look for a turnoff on your left right after Crow Hills Pond.  There is additional parking in a lot across the street at Crocker Pond Lot, about a 5 minute walk north of the parking lot.  Parking is tight.  Anyone who wants to carpool from my house, let me know and I can email you my address.
