CALENDAR

North Andover Trails will participate in the town's Annual Townwide Earth Day Clean-Up! Come help pick up the trash along the roadside on Bradford St. We'll have trash bags, gloves, trash grabbers and orange vests on hand. Bring your own gloves and grabbers if you have them.

We'll meet at the Mazurenko Farm parking area on Bradford St, about 1/3 of a mile from the intersection with Great Pond Rd.

Please RSVP to glen@fonat.org if possible so we know how many gloves and grabbers to get from the Sustainability Committee.

Come explore the trails at Mazurenko Farm and Reas Pond with FONAT. The hike should last about 2 hours and promises beautiful views as we ascend Barker Hill and Carter Hill.

Come explore Ward Reservation's Sanborn Trail with FONAT.  Starting from the Boston Hill trail head at Brightview, we'll hike to the scenic Holt Hill solstice stones to enjoy the view of the Boston skyline. The hike will last about 2 hours.

Join us for a hike up Weir Hill, down to the lake trail, and then up to the summit of Osgood Hill The hike should last about two hours, with refreshments served at the top of the Osgood hill!

Our meeting place will be the Weir Hill main entrance on Steven St.

Our hikes are family-friendly, and leashed dogs are also welcome to join in. Check back here for any updates due to weather.

Harold Parker State Forest, located half in North Andover and half in Andover, is a hidden gem, with a wide variety of trails accessible for hiking and biking. We will walk past beaver dams and ponds, traveling on a well-maintained forest trail, making our way first to the old soapstone quarry site and finally to the historic Jenkins Mill site.

A wonderfully diverse 2-hour walk. Children are very welcome. Dogs can come along, but they must be group friendly and leashed.

We'll meet at the parking area on Middleton Road at the "pavilion" between Jenkins and Harold Parker Roads. (Look for event signs. For GPS, use 614 Middleton Rd, North Andover. Note this is NOT the Berry Pond beach parking area.)

Join us to check out the lesser-explored trails in the wilderness where North Andover, Middleton, and Boxford meet. We’ll begin our hike on Middleton’s “Lost 50” trail, and then continue along the ancient roads and cart paths of Boxford State Forest.

We'll meet at the Lost 50 trailhead on North Liberty St in Middleton. This spot can be tricky to locate. For GPS, navigate to 200 Liberty St in North Andover (the corner of Liberty St and Watkins Way) and look for a North Liberty St sign. Continue down North Liberty St, (a dirt road), until you see the trail head on your left.

The event is free and family friendly. Heavy rain cancels.

Come check out the Stevens to Stevens Trail, a scenic trail connecting the Old Center Common to Weir Hill. Along the way, we’ll learn about the Old Center’s history as the site of the town’s original settlement.
 
We'll meet at the North Andover Old Center Common, at the corner of Andover St and Osgood St. The event is free and family friendly.  Heavy rain cancels. Dogs must be leashed.

Join us to explore Woodchuck Hill and a wonderful trail connection created in 2017 as an Eagle Scout project.

Join us on a guided hike at Glennie Woodlot, as we cross a the Glennie bridge to the little known trails at Town Farm North. The hike will be a bit shorter than our usual walks, coming in at about an hour.
