Happy Thanksgiving!
One of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions is watching families hike together. In the spirit of family walks, we’ve pulled together town by town suggestions to help you stretch your legs and maybe enjoy that second piece of apple pie. All of these trails come with good parking and are dog friendly. Bonus? We have specifically focused on hidden gems. While everyone is worried about parking at World's End or Norris Reservation, you’ll be catching up with friends and eating trail snacks.
BY THE WAY - If you've enjoyed our photography this year, then you will love our 2018 calendars! All featured pictures have been taken by South Shore Trails.
