The Trail Less Taken

If you like to get out and walk, you’ve probably noticed that popular Concord-area trails, like those in Winant Park and Marjorie Swope Park, are busier than ever. Normally that’s a good thing, but not so much with our current need for social distancing.

In honor of Earth Day, here is Five Rivers’ guide to a few of the trails less traveled in the greater Concord area. These trails thread their ways through properties conserved by Five Rivers, but they’re much quieter than Winant and Swope. To take the pressure of those busier trails, try one of these trails next time you head out.

We’ll offer more trail suggestions in additional towns in another post.

Happy Earth Day from Five Rivers, and happy spring hiking!
