Beard Trail and Ridge Hill Reservation

Saturday, September 24 – (9-10:15 a.m.)

Walk the trail along Beard Way to discover Ridge Hill Reservation in Needham. The reservation was part of the old Baker Estate, an extravagant amusement park created by William Baker in 1868. Ridge Hill has miles of hiking trails including a long boardwalk through wetlands that feed Fuller Brook. Meet at the map house located at Grove Street and Beard Way near the Needham town line. Please park on the left-hand side of Beard Way.

Wellesley Trails Committee walks are free, and no registration is required. The walk covers about 2-1/4 miles and lasts a little over one hour. Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy footwear.

Activities take place unless it pours rain or there are high winds.

Participants will be required to follow Town guidelines for COVID-19 for outdoors group events. If the walk is cancelled because of the pandemic, a notice will be posted.
