Callahan State Park South Side early winter hike - December 17, 2025

HIKE REPORT

 

Wednesday, 17 December 2025, Callahan State Park South Side early winter hike

Hike Leaders:  Margie & Tony Lee

3.4 miles, 10:00 am start from Callahan SP parking lot, Framingham

 

Hikers (14):  Margie, Tony, Annemarie Altman, Barbara Jacobs, Gerry Sheetoo, Janet Miller, Judy Perrin, Lynell Stromberg, Marie Keutmann, Richard Vignoni, Susan Broome, Susan Sabin, Ted Nyder, and Tod Cochran.

 

We hiked from Callahan's Edmands Street parking lot on the Pipeline trail and turned onto SVT's Baiting Brook trail just before the big hill.  We meandered through the woods and then crossed the Pipeline trail and descended to Deer Run and Birch trails.  We proceeded on Chickadee and Rocky Road, where we admired a NEMBA volunteer-built walking bridge. Finally, we hiked Red Tail, Wren, and Pioneer trails back to the parking lot.

 

The parking lot was icy, but the trails were well-travelled with only a dusting of snow.  Eleven of us drove to Franco's Trattoria in Sudbury's Mill Village shopping center for very fresh salads, pizza and sandwiches.
