Welcome to the weekly Wednesday night hike on Wachusett!

Please find the start time and location, including map, above. Please check comments for updates.

All hikers are required to BRING A HEADLAMP or LIGHT to attend. Hikes will be 3-6 miles. Hikes occur rain or shine. All attendees should wear proper clothing (layers) and be prepared for unexpected weather conditions. We recommend a minimum of 1 liter of water.

REQUIREMENT OF ATTENDANCE: You have hike a mountain in the past year. Please know what you are getting into (this is much more than a casual stroll through the woods) and be certain you have the physical ability to make it to the summit. Bring headlamp.

It is important all attendees can be accounted for. Please do not separate from the group without informing the group leader or suitable proxy. At the end of the hike, all members should remain in the parking area until a head count can be done so we can ensure all members have made it down safely.

Guests are allowed and encouraged. This is a moderate hike. People of all skill levels attend. We stop at each intersection to allow hikers of all speeds to catch up and rest as needed. Most of the time, a road decent is offered as an option. Depending on our start location, sometimes taking trails down at night is unavoidable.

Well behaved dogs are allowed. The park requires animals be leashed and are picked up after. The enforcement of this is rather lax. We ask you simply be respectful of other hikers, don't leave a mess on the trail and keep your dog under control.
