Hike the Bay Circuit Trail with AMC in 2015!

Explore the Bay Circuit Trail, one of Boston’s premier recreation destinations.

Join AMC Staff as we hike sections of the 230-mile trail, which stretches around Boston, from Newburyport to Duxbury, offering a variety of terrain and scenic vistas.

First proposed in 1929 by Benton MacKaye and Charles Eliot II, the Bay Circuit Trail and Greenway is a 230-mile outer “emerald necklace” linking 57 Boston area communities in Eastern Massachusetts and providing open space and recreational opportunities to metropolitan Boston.

Join AMC Staff on monthly hikes to explore and learn about different sections of the trail. We will meet at the designated trailhead 15 minutes prior to the start of each hike. Each hike will be two hours long with little elevation gain. Be prepared to be walking for the full two hours as there is limited time for breaks. Also be sure to bring snacks, water, and wear proper hiking gear. Hike locations may be subject to change depending on weather conditions and response.

Specific trailhead locations and directions will be sent to you after you register, along with information about hike difficulty.
