Boxford State Forest Hike
Date/Time: Saturday 2/4/2012 10:00:00 AM
Status: Running
Contact: Michael Schuttenberg

BOXFORD STATE FOREST - N. Andover/Boxford, MA - 2/4, 10am
Michael writes: Although this area is my favorite place in Eastern MA to XC ski, I'm not seeing anything in the forecast suggesting that sliding or flotation devices for snow will be necessary---hiking boots should suffice.
Weather should be fine for a hike---it ALWAYS is--- in Boxford State Forest.
This is a great place to explore if you've never been here, and we'll circumnavigate the whole area for probably 7 miles or more, taking 4 hours or thereabouts. There is NO HUNTING this time of year, so we should be OK. The tour will be through the forests of this pretty area which includes a wildlife sanctuary and old abandoned homestead and family cemetery. Terrain is not difficult at all, but hikers should be prepared for 7+ miles/4+ hours of walking with the group. I strongly advise against hikers leaving the group on their own unless familiar with the trails of this area. Well behaved dogs are welcome; bring leashes. As suggested earlier, I do not plan to cancel this hike because of weather.
Meet at 10:00 a.m. at the parking lot entrance to Boxford SF at the end of Sharpner's Pond Road about 1 mile off Rt. 114 in North Andover, MA (turnoff is very near the Middleton/North Andover town line sign, about 3 miles north on 114 from Middleton center).
