Overview

The hike is 4.6 miles in Nickerson State Park but we will begin and end the hike at Freemans Fields at 835 Freemans Way in Brewster. We will hike around Grassy Nook Pond and Ruth Pond and adjacent to Cliff Pond. Dress in layers for cold weather with winter hiking footwear and have water for hydration. There is varied terrain, including moderate hills so bring trekking poles if you have them. If conditions are icy, wear microspikes. Directions: Follow Rt 6 to Exit 85 for MA-137 toward Brewster. Follow signs to MA-137 N. Follow MA-137 N for 1.7 miles and turn right onto Freemans Way. Follow Freemans Way for 1.6 miles and turn left into the Freeman Fields also known as Brewster Recreational Park. Follow the road to the furthest playing fields and look for my green Honda Pilot. Unfortunately, last minute unexpected events, most often weather, force us to cancel an event at the last minute. Please check hike postings on the day of the hike to insure it is still taking place. Thanks
