"Full Moon Snowshoe Trek" at Barre Falls Dam
Winter 2009
Time: 7 p.m.
Price
Snowshoe rentals $6.00 per person
Have you ever experienced snowshoeing in a mystical winter forest, guided
by the light of a brilliantly lit moon? Come along with other like minded
women and experience the fun on a moonlit night!
Our trip will
begin at the Barre Falls Dam in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Here your
guide will briefly review logistical information before we start our trek.
Barre Falls is part of the Ware river water shed, which empties into the
Quabbin Reservoir. Our trip is approximately 3 miles in length, and should
take approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. to complete (give or take depending on
the group). You will be on a relatively flat surface, with a few
moderately easy inclines. It's a good idea to bring along a headlamp if
you have one.
Hiking activity rating: Easy to
moderate
Trip Includes:
- Bottled water available for tour
- Quabbin reservoir/Barre Dam/and prison camps information
- Learn the basic fundamentals of snowshoeing
- Professional,
pleasant and well informed guides.
What clothing/equipment should I bring?
Layers of clothing are always best. The first layer should be, synthetic
or thermal underwear, such as polypropylene. The middle layer could be
fleece, wool sweater, wool pants. The top or outer layer should be a nylon
or sympatex jacket and pants that will protect you from snow, and wind. A
warm or insulated hat, thermo socks and gloves or mittens. A pair of
insulated hiking boots. Some extra suggested items that may be needed
would be sunglasses (for day trips), hand and boot warmers, sunscreen, a
day pack or fanny pack, bottled water, and a head lamp (for the evening
trips). And of course snowshoes, which are available to rent.
