Snowshoeing on Sunday

Posted by Erik on 1/28/2022, 6:06 am

10" to 14" of light powder is in the forecast for tomorrow. Anyone interested in snowshoeing on Sunday. Just need someplace that will be plowed. Around here Mercy Woods and the Monastery have a nice mix of open space and woods. I went to Godard Park a couple of years ago with Gary - not long trails, but centrally located and it is nice out on the bridle paths (might be windy by the water). The only place that I know further south is Tillinghast Pond.

Anyone interested? Anyone got any ideas where?

Possibly. Depends if we're plowed out and road conditions.

Tillinghast would be good. Could try Carolina mgt area but plowed parking lot is iffy. My Tom is another option.

Stay tuned folks - plan is to do something tomorrow, but will will have to wait and see what works. Maybe meet at noon to give folks time to dig out. We'll see.

Bill and I are meeting at 12:00 today to snowshoe at the Blackall/Ballou Preserve.

Meeting at 12:00 at:

Dollar Tree Plaza
3751 Mendon Rd.
Cumberland, RI 02864

It’s about a 3.4-mile loop if we do it all, 2-miles if we are lazy. Here is the map:

Snowshoeing on Sunday - nice afternoon

Perfect conditions today. We started at the trailhead on West Wrentham and did the loop on the blue trail – about 1.5-miles. Probably half was unbroken trail, so it was enough. Nice afternoon in the woods. Few pictures here:
