Bedford Town Trail Walk

Hartwell Town Forest

Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 9:45 am

 

Please join the Bedford Trails Committee for a free winter walk through the Hartwell Town Forest, crossing the new bridge over Hartwell Brook connecting the north and south sides of the Forest.

 

The walk will be slow-paced, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours duration.    We will traverse the Forest from Hartwell Road over to South Road (adjacent to Fam Camp and Hanscom Field) and back, over the new bridge, with additional explorations as time allows.

When and Where:   Meet at 9:45 AM in the parking lot behind the Bedford Free Public Library.    We will then start and finish the walk at the small parking area next to the Forest entrance on Hartwell Road, where the now-removed kiosk used to be (although the meet-up location is still behind the Bedford Library).   Leaders:         Ben Arnold & Dan Hurwitz, Bedford Trails Committee   Notes:   Children and dogs are welcome.    We will walk regardless of the weather – rain, snow, or shine.

The walk will follow a snow- and ice-covered route.  Please wear comfortable boots that can handle wet, ice, and snow.  Ice creepers may be necessary.  (There will be a few sets available to borrow.)  Snowshoes will likely not be necessary.
