Often, for a more peaceful walk and a time for reflection and admiring nature, I walk on the spur of the Davis Park trail that takes you across the Alder River and across Middle Intervale Road (stay inside the guardrails on Route 26).
This leads to the trail on the Gateway of the Mahoosuc Land Trust. It is hard-packed gravel and offers beautiful views to the mountains.
I am sure many of you recognize this scene as you drive by. Those are interpretive signs that depict the mountains that you see from this vantage point.
Thanks to the Mahoosuc Land Trust, for the signs and to the hard working volunteers for trimming this iconic apple tree and giving it new life.
Also thank you for mowing areas of the land. It looks so inviting!
As you walk toward the end of this spur where you can turn around and retrace your steps you will see and hear an abundance of birds. The sound of distant traffic is amazingly subtle and I can guarantee that you will feel rejuvenated. Exercise and Nature right at your doorstep!
Inside fun and social time continues each Thursday afternoon, 12:00-2:00 pm, at the Whitman Memorial Library in Bryant Pond. Local folks and visitors from out of town are welcome. Please join us!
