New Year’s Day Walk

January 1, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Powder House Conservation Area

Join Bolton’s Conservation Administrator and Bolton Trails Committee, on a two-hour ramble through Powderhouse Conservation Area, to explore the Conservation Area and trails!
There is a mix of terrain throughout the chosen route. The trail will start at Town Common, previously the location of a Mobil station which before its closing was one of the oldest Mobil stations run by the same family. The trail will then navigate throughout the parcels at the rear of Town Hall and Town Common. Some historical locations including the Powderhouse will be visited along the way. Stone walls and old Town roads will guide the group through deciduous forest toward a power easement.
We may also encounter deer, hawks, and other wildlife! Hope for snow for some winter tracks!
Start off the New Year on the right foot by walking the wilderness of Bolton!

Parking: Town Common parking area by trail head located at the intersection of Main Street (Route 117) and Wattaquadock Hill Road. Overflow parking will be a short walk away behind Town Hall, not the church (located at 663 Main street).

Weather Policy: We will plan to hold the event unless there are thunderstorms with lightning or extreme weather conditions.
Recommended Gear: Participants should dress appropriately. Dress for the cold. We encourage participants to bring water or hot tea. This time of year, there may be ice or snow on the trails please come prepared with appropriate footwear (micro spikes, crampons or snow shoes may be beneficial depending on the weather).

Pet Policy: Dogs are welcome if under direct control of owner; ON LEASH for the walk please. Attendees with dogs are limited one per adult hand and MUST remove and carry out all that their companion may bring into the property. Come prepared with bags to scoop your dog’s poop. No umbrellas please.
