Winter hike on Feb. 6
Residents can join the Andover Conservation Commission and Andover Trails Committee as they explore the¬ Bald Hill/Wood Hill Reservations¬ by foot and by snowshoe, if possible, on Saturday, Feb. 6 starting at 2 p.m.
This is a 2.25 mile trek that will start at 2 p.m. sharp. The hike should take about 90 minutes to 2 hours, including hot chocolate and snack around a camp fire provided by Andover Conservation Commission. If there is no snow on the ground, there will still be a hike, but, obviously, no opportunity for snowshoeing.
Meet at the Holmes Road parking area, by taking Lowell Street (Route 133) toward Tewksbury, then turning right on Haggets Pond Road, passing under Route 495 then taking the first right onto Holmes Road. Go all the way to the end and park.
For questions or to express interest, contact Bob Decelle at¬ hdecelle@hotmail.com
The Andover Trails Committee is a citizens committee including members of the Conservation Commission, the Appalachian Mountain Club, Andover Village Improvement Society, the Bay Circuit Alliance, The Trustees of Reservations, and local people who appreciate the outdoor recreational opportunities of Andover. It was reactivated in the spring of 1991 to focus on the establishment of the Bay Circuit Trail in Andover.
