Hike & Hops at Great River

About this event

Join Wildlands Trust for our second Hike & Hops in Bridgewater! Explore the trails at Great River Preserve with hike leaders Skip and Jess. We will hike 3 miles through mowed trails across open fields and visit the overlook of the Taunton River. Wear warm clothing and waterproof hiking shoes, as the air can be chilly and the grass wet.

After the hike, we invite you to join us at Black Hat Brew Works in Bridgewater for some brews and good company! *Drinks are not included in the ticket cost.
