Open Event
Join the Canton Land Conservation Trust for a gorgeous hike on the Pratt Preserve’s Waquaheag Trail and Horseshoe Trail. We will meet on the level area near Cherry Brook and follow the Waquaheag Trail across the bridge. The trail, steep in spots, winds through mixed deciduous woods and between some spectacular rock formations. Hikers will be able to stay with the leader on the full Waquaheag Trail for a longer, more challenging option, or choose to return via the shorter, easier Horseshoe Trail loop. We will return to our starting point in 2 hours or less. Hikers should wear sturdy shoes and bug spray, bring water and a snack, and please leave dogs at home.
