Spring Full Moon Walks
Stenger Farm - Waterford
|
|
Friday, May 24
FREE |
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Adult and Family

The 95-acre property is just up the
street from a busy intersection that is home to, among other things, the
Stop & Shop shopping plaza in Waterford. But walk into what was once a dairy
farm and you'll leave behind all the traffic noise and bustle of suburban
life.
Enjoy a 15-minute stroll on the wide, flat trail that encircles a pond on
the property, or take one of the short and easy side trails. The main trail
was an oval track for harness racing in the 1940s, according to information
that the town of Waterford provides at the entrance to the trails. Take
Boston Post Road (Route 1) toward Waterford. Take a right onto Clark Lane.
Stenger Farm is on your left, across the street from Clark Lane Middle
School. |
