Let’s get into nature and enjoy the cool and colorful fall season in New England!  An easy hike around the large Middlesex Fells reservoir on wide, well-manicured, rolling, soft pine-covered trails.  Dogs optional, on-leash dogs welcome!

• Where:  Middlesex Fells Reservation State Park, @ Sheepfold Dog Park.  Address:  Fells Path, Stoneham, MA 02180
• Meeting location:  Sheepfold Dog Park at the top parking lot, just before entering the meadow.  Look for Heather with a black 60lb puppy and a blue Columbia T-Shirt and hat.
• Parking:  Plenty of free parking in lots at the park.  Suggest arriving by 9.30 am, just in case there is a line for parking.

• Dog info:  On-leash hiking on trails.  As a plus, dogs can play off-leash in the meadow if they would like a longer run after the hike.
• Weather rain check:  Check Columbia’s Boston Alumni Facebook group the morning of 1 Oct if there is inclement weather, in case we need a weather rain check for a future weekend.  Unless there is a major storm, we will be out hiking and having fun!
