"Snowshoe Trek" To former prison camps at Barre Falls
Winter 2009
Approx. Time: 10:00 a.m.
Price $45.00
Snowshoe rentals $6.00 per person
Come with us and experience the magical beauty of a wintry forest, while we
keep an eye out for wildlife along the way. Learn the basics of
snowshoeing, as we discover the history of the former prison camps that
existed back in the early 1900's.
Our trek will begin at the Barre
falls Dam in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Here your guide will briefly
review logistical information before we start the day. Barre Falls is part
of the Ware river water shed, which empties into the Quabbin Reservoir.
Our trek 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.
To end our day we'll enjoy a delicious bowl of hot soup and sandwiches to
melt away the chill.
