Full Moon Hike - Boston Events INSIDER

Full Moon Hike

Monday, January 9th, 5:00pm to 7:00pm

Explore the forest after the sun has

set. We’ll walk about 3 miles

through the forested trails of

Freetown State Forest under the

light of the Full Moon. January’s

Full Moon is known as the Wolf

Mon. Amid the cold and deep

snows of midwinter, the wolf packs

(now extirpated from

Massachusetts) howled hungrily outside Native American villages.

Thus, the name for January’s Full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred

to as the Old Moon, or the Moon after Yule.

Bring water, wear good hiking shoes, and dress for the weather. Bring a

flashlight, but you may be asked not to use it! Hike is about 3 miles long and

appropriate for adults and children 10+. Meet at the main parking lot on Slab

Bridge Road in Assonet. Rain, snow, or icy trails will cancel. Space is limited

and pre-registration is required. Please call (508) 866-2580 x161 to preregister

or for more information. For park information and directions, please
