Celebrate the end of the Cape hiking season with this hike, 4 miles along wooded trails with some elevation, lots of roots. We will hike between 2 conservation areas Ryder and Lowell Holly and will have views of the Wakeby Pond and Mashpee Pond. Wear sturdy hiking footwear, bring water, tick repellent, poles if desired. If the hike needs to be cancelled for weather, it will be absent from the website. Check on the morning of the hike. At the end of the hike we will picnic at Wakeby Pond--bring your own sandwich or salad, beverage and, if you want, a side to share. Bring your own chair to sit on. We'll also have a hiking gear swap--bring items that you aren't using/don't fit but that are in good condition--backpacks, socks, water bottles, gloves, jackets, etc. Take what you can use. This is to support AMC's mission of conservation by reusing items rather than buying new. Take exit 61 off Mid-cape Rte 6 and turn south, (R from bridge, L from upper Cape). Stay on Quaker Meetinghouse Rd to traffic light and turn L, stay on Cotuit Rd,, to small rotary and take first exit. Go short distance to entrance to Ryder on R. Drive past upper lot and guard shack and go to dirt lot at end of road on Right. THIS IS A NEW START LOCATION.
