Thursday Night Hike 8/27 - Northampton, Western Massachusetts

Thursday Night Hikes are back! Please join us this summer for some of our favorite hikes in Western Massachusetts, led by Volunteers Amy, Sam, and Beck.This week’s Thursday Night Hike is a beginner-friendly hike through a beloved conservation area. The trail winds through the woods, past swamp forests, and ends up with a beautiful lake view. This is a great spot for mushrooms! Trails are mostly wide and level, with shorter sections that are more hilly or wet, with low boardwalks. Bring your insect repellant of choice, as this trail can be buggy! 2.8 miles, 150 ft elevation change.Hikes this Summer:Sunderland, MA — June 4Pelham, MA - June 11Northampton, MA - June 18Haydenville, MA - June 25Hadley, MA - July 2Leeds, MA - July 9Shutesbury, MA - July 16South Deerfield, MA - July 23Easthampton, MA - July 30Amherst, MA - August 6Greenfield, MA - August 13Hadley, MA - August 20Northampton, MA - August 27Ashfield, MA - September 3About Thursday Night Hikes:Thursday Night Hikes are all about finding community and relaxing in nature with other queer folks!
