Start your weekend outdoors and join RLT and Bridgewater Land Trust for a guided new trail opening at the Town Line Farm Preserve. There is a newly built trail and bridge connecting the trusts.
The 1.5 mile total out and back hike starts at the trail head on Town Line Road. Hikers will cross the hayfield along the mowed path to the wood line. Once in the woods, the trail makes a moderate-steep descent towards Camp Brook. The trail continues south along the brook before crossing a bridge onto the RLT Erbacher Preserve. Hikers will continue south along a wood road that follows the babbling brook to the intersection of the arrow pass trail. Once at the intersection hikers will turn around and head back on the connector trail toward Town Line Road. This portion of the hike will be most difficult with some moderately steep slopes and 400 feet of elevation gain.
Attendees should meet at the Jane Pratt parking area on Town Line Road and are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Binoculars, insect repellent, and cameras are encouraged.
Established in 1970, the Roxbury Land Trust preserves nearly 4,000 acres of farmland, woodlands, watercourses, wetlands and open space in Roxbury and neighboring communities. The Roxbury Land Trust maintains 32 preserves with more than 30 miles of hiking trails and three active farms, as well as offers a wide range of educational programs. RLT relies on donations, grants, member support, and gifts of land to pursue its mission and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
