Join BNRC and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at BCC for this loop hike at Basin Pond in Lee. Rated moderate, the trail crosses several streams, has many glacial erratics, and a vista over a beaver pond. This property, once slated to be a wealthy second-home community with a golf course, offers glimpses into the variety of land uses typical to the Berkshires in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The hike is approximately 2.5 hours.
This hike is part of a joint fall hike series. Hikes will take place on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month in September, October, and November. These hikes are free for OLLI and BNRC supporters. You must register in advance, and space is limited.
Registration will open on Monday, October 20 at 9 a.m. REGISTER HERE
