New Year, New Trails!

Welcome to 2018! Just because it is Winter does not mean you have to stay indoors all day by the fire. There are plenty of great trails along the South Shore that make for wonderful snowy hikes and Winter adventures - especially when you are prepared for the elements! So stock up on the essentials and hit the trails.

We hope that this new year brings wonderful new adventures to each and every one of you. One of the best parts about January is the opportunity to set new goals and aspirations:

(1) Try new trails.

We have 121 trails on the site. You can search by stroller score, town, or dog friendly. Each town offers something different and we love that. (Psst, we think Marshfield is a real home run).

(2) Go to an event! 

A great way to meet new people - or reconnect with an old friend - is to attend an event. There are so many amazing events happening even during the Winter months. Wildlands Trust continues to have great programming throughout the chilly months including a yoga or a potluck dinner.

(3) Always be prepared

It is pretty silly to head into nature without the right tools. January is a great time of year to refresh your essentials. So, reassess your trail bag (or fannypack!), pick up some new snacks (we love these RxBars),  or maybe buy a new vest to spruce up your gear.

(4) Support an organization

There are a lot of great town or state trails to enjoy - but with a membership you can get access to even more trails and events. Each organization offers something different but we can guarantee you won't regret joining either the Trustees, Wildlands Trust or the Audubon Society.

(5) Tell a friend about South Shore Trails. 

We admit it. This one is selfish 🙂 But, the more people that get outside the better and we love to make that happen.

Enjoy your fresh air and fun adventures!
