GMC Worcester – Outings

Saturday, December 13. Hike the Bay Circuit Trail Sudbury Reservoir Section. The Sudbury and Foss Reservoirs are the emergency backup drinking water source for over 3 million residents of eastern Massachusetts. There is a nice parking spot at the trailhead; spaces for about 5 cars or so. This puts you right on the reservoir. The Bay Circuit Trail runs along the carriage road and there is a more rustic trail option right down by the water. Plenty of birds along the way, woodpeckers, ducks, heron.

The hike is about 2.25 miles one way for a round trip of about 4.5 miles. We will hike out along the carriage road and back along the water’s edge.
