SNOWSHOE/HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 11 February 2026, Fairhaven Bay and Cliffs winter hike
Hike Leader: Jack Mroczkowski
~3.5 miles, 10:00 am start from Concord, MA
Hikers (10): Jack, Betsy Harper, Judy Perrin, Kristina Leclaire, Lynell Stromberg, Marie Keutmann, Richard Vignoni, Steve Hoffenberg, Susan Sabin, and Zach Woods.
The first challenge of the day was what footgear to use - snowshoes or microspikes? The group was roughly split 50:50 on the two traction choices. Richard offered to lead the group on his snowshoes for the first half of the course, with the goal of making it easier for those using microspikes.
After we reached the Fairhaven Bay overlook, the going got tougher for the microspikers, so we decided to skip Fairhaven Hill and, instead, just trek back on a path at the foot of the cliffs. A large hawk was observed near the trail on the way back
Several of us went to Verrill Farm for post-hike lunch and shared some interesting adventure stories.
