The Long Way Around Hike

Description

This hike explores the wild wonders of the Crane Estate! We'll launch our long walk at the Cedar Point Trail and follow it to the Ipswich River, then meander along the beach and through seldom-traveled paths to the trailhead at the Crane Wildlife Refuge. We'll wander the dunes to Essex Bay, then make our way along the backside of Crane Beach to reach the Essex River. A bag lunch will be delivered to us at the approximate halfway point, and will give us the sustenance we'll need to finish the hike! Come prepared for a leisurely long-way-around walk of about 8 miles. Pre-registration is required. Members: $28 Nonmembers: $35 Recommended for ages 15 & up. Please note: Children ages 15 and older are welcome to participate if they are capable of keeping up with the group when hiking through soft sand for a distance of approximately 8 miles (round-trip).
