Quabbin (Rattlesnake Hill) Bike & Hike
Dates TBA
Price $45.00
Trip Length Approx. 4-5 hrs.

Come prepared to explore a portion of the vast maze of old roads, on your way to a truly amazing overlook of the Quabbin Reservoir. Along the way we'll take time to learn the history of the area, as we enjoy the pristine beauty that surrounds us. Before long we'll trade our cycling shoes for trail shoes and embark upon the climb up "Rattlesnake Hill", here we'll take a short break before returning to the trail. As we set out, we'll head towards the historical location of the now abandoned railway once know as the "Rabbit Run", which once served the North Quabbin region. Here we'll enjoy lunch along the beautiful water's edge of the Quabbin Reservoir. The return ride will help you work off some of those calories.
