Trail Walk to the Delovo Conservation Land

The Bedford Trails Committee will explore the Dellovo Conservation Area in a free trail walk which then leads onto the Massport property. The goal is either Thoreau’s birthplace, or a loop thru the Dellovo area, depending on conditions that day. The walk will last about 2 hours or less.

We meet at 9:45 am at the parking lot behind the Bedford Free Public Library.  Alternatively, you can meet us at the trailhead parking lot on Route 62 (see map), from which we will leave at 10:10 am sharp.  The trailhead parking lot is located on Route 62, next to the Bedford Children’s Center.  From Bedford, it is on the left about 1.8 miles from the split with Route 225. Note that we don’t know if the trailhead parking lot will be plowed (it usually isn’t), and we currently don’t have permission to park at the Bedford Children’s Center, so either rendezvous at the Library or park on Lavender Lane.

The leader for the February walk will be Bruce Wisentaner, Bedford Trails Committee

Our Trail Walk will be slow-paced, with flat terrain but expected to be muddy or icy, with stream crossings and possibly downed trees and limbs. Please wear comfortable, closed toe, walking shoes or boots that can handle wet, ice or snow.  Well-socialized children and dogs are welcome.  We will walk rain, snow, or shine.
