Come join us on our First Day Hike down the Greenway!
Thursday, January 1, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Celebrate the New Year at the Blackstone River Greenway Visitor Center in Worcester on our First Day Hike! Trek from the Visitor Center to the Millbury Street satellite parking lot and back, with minimal elevation changes on a paved, accessible bikeway. Enjoy views of the Blackstone River and keep your eyes peeled for both urban wildlife and evidence of the area’s industrial past. At the turnaround point (Millbury St. lot), you will find the northernmost intact segment of the Blackstone Canal. The hike is 3 miles, about 1.5 hours in duration. Dress for the weather and leashed dogs are welcome to join.
Space is limited; registration is required. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and hike begins at 10:00 a.m. Join us afterwards at the Visitor Center for hot chocolate. For more information, call (508) 373-7056.
For information on accessibility and reasonable accommodations, call (617) 645-0358 or email [email protected].
