We will hit the trail at Redemption Rock to Leominster State Forest (LSF). We plan to cover around 5 miles each way. While at LSF, we will do a service project, maintaining a section of trail. We may have a short cross-country segement, so be prepared to use some map-reading and compass skills.
Refer to the trail map of Leominster State Forest for the available trails.
Plan for Saturday:
- Meet at the church, leaving at 8 AM.
- Carpool to Redemption Rock monument parking area on Route 140 in Princeton.
- Follow the Midstate Trail north, from Redemption Rock to Leominster State Forest.
- Follow one of the trails in LSF to Rocky Pond Road.

Plan for Sunday:
- Hike out of LSF the way we came in.
