Walk Across Lexington
Sunday, October 20 from 9:30am-12:30pm
Sunday, October 20 from 9:30am-12:30pm
Take a walk on the second section of the new ACROSS Lexington
trail system. ACROSS Lexington (Accessing Conservation land, Recreation
areas, Open space, Schools and Streets in Lexington) will
eventually consist of 40 miles of well marked walking, jogging and off-road
biking routes connecting all of Lexington. This will be the inaugural walk on a
wonderful new 4.5-mile route that will traverse several conservation areas,
recreation areas and school property.
The route will consist of: Clarke Street, Lincoln Field,
Bridge School, the Old Res, Marrett Road, a residential neighborhood, Clarke
School, Dunback Meadow, Cotton Farm, Upper Vine Brook, Highland Avenue and back
to town along the bikeway.
This is a wonderful way to socialize on a quiet Sunday
morning and meet people in Lexington that you may not know. Everyone will
learn (and share) some Lexington history and interesting town facts and you'll
get some excellent exercise.
Severe inclement weather will cancel the walk. Meet at
the rear of the Depot in Lexington Center.
