First Day Hike

January 6, 2015

Join DCR staff to enjoy a leisurely two-mile stroll down the Canal Side Rail Trail and get the New Year started off on a Great Falls note. This family friendly hike follows a gentle route and provides an opportunity to explore the abundant natural, historical, and cultural features that make Great Falls Discovery Center such an amazing State Park! Afterward, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in the Discovery Center’s Great Hall.

Be prepared for cold weather: dress in layers and wear winter boots. Dogs are welcome on leash.

Sign in at the Discovery Center’s Great Hall at 1:00 p.m. Hike will begin at 1:15 p.m. Great Falls Discovery Center is located at 2 Avenue A in Turner’s Falls.

Reasonable accommodations available upon request. For more information call 413/863-3221 or visit
