Turners Falls Women's Walking Group - Western MA

This approximately 2-mile round-trip route offers a pleasant and easy walk, popular among bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. The road provides views of the canal and opportunities to observe various bird species, especially during migration seasons. We welcome participants to choose the length of their walk.

We will meet at the small yellow sign (on right in photo). See you there!

To offset administrative costs (MeetUp fees), people can make voluntary donations if they choose by Venmo. Ask and we can provide the Venmo information. Or, people can purchase upcycled dangle earrings made by one of our group member and she will donate all proceeds toward the MeetUp account. Thank you.

Situated on a beautiful rocky peninsula jutting into the Connecticut River, the Barton Cove loop in Gill is generally considered an easy route. This 1.8-mile trail is great for birding, hiking, walking, and passes an abandoned dinosaur footprint quarry. We'll wind through the woods to beautiful, inspiring views. Sneakers are fine, but if you need more support, hiking boots would be helpful, as there are areas with uneven terrain. Hiking poles could be helpful as well.

NOTE: This walk begins at 1 p.m.
