Summer is here!
Is everyone having an incredible summer? We certainly are.
We can't get enough of the great outdoors... despite this muggy heat recently. In honor of such an occasion, we wanted to highlight some great trails that we think hit the spot for a nice Summer day. Hot tip for staying cool? Try to get your activity in early in the day. Not only will you have the place to yourself (most likely) but you'll also beat the heat. Win win.
But whether you are enjoying one of our spotlight trails or unique events ... be sure to keep tick safety and trail essentials in mind!
Enjoy your fresh air and fun adventures!
P.S. Have you seen the story about this guy who found a 200 year old shipwreck in Scituate?
North River Audubon / Marshfield
Great for families, solo hikers and bird watchers. You'll love catching the ocean breeze from the dock overlooking the North River! Amazing event schedule is a worth a good look.
Sumner Smith Overlook / Cohasset
Super short trail. Super amazing view. Maybe bring a picnic lunch and enjoy Cohasset Harbor while you eat? All children need to be supervised for safety.
Worlds End / Hingham
With a well-timed visit, it is possible to avoid a full parking lot. Check their Twitter feed for updates... and absolutely bring some water with you. You can put in some decent miles at Worlds End
AJ Memorial Trail / Scituate
Perfect time of day to visit? End of the day. Great trails along the marsh and river. Bonus? Your dogs are welcome!
John Little Trail / Marshfield
The most woodsy of all our recommendations but we can't resist a visit all year long. You absolutely will want to do a tick check after but we love the view from the dock.
