About this event
Entering from the rear entrance this is an easy 2.5 mile afternoon hike around a small lake in the rear section of the state Breakheart Reservation in Wakefield, MA (just north of Boston). It is a co-event with Chiltern Mountain Club (also LGBTQ).
A third is on paved fire roads and the rest on trails along the water. It’s 60% in the woods/shaded.
About 3/4s of the way around is a beach we'll stop at to swim. Disclaimer: The swimming area once had a lot of little wispy floating weeds. The lifeguards said the state doesn’t always get around to clearing them out. It was ok to swim just not ideal. (Just a heads up.)
Anything more than a drizzle will cancel - there’s no rain date planned (although I’m also running this hike on Sept 6).
