DATE: Saturday, May 16, 2026
TIME: 10am-11:15am
LOCATION: Hemlock Gorge (1.0 miles). Meet at the Echo Bridge Office Park parking lot, at 381 Elliot Street, Newton. Park on the side of the lot facing the river.
DESCRIPTION: Chances are you never visited Hemlock Gorge and walked its near silent trails. And chances are you never trod the deck of the seven-arched Echo Bridge and looked down upon what was once a field dotted with wigwams. Come explore the trails and bridge in Hemlock Gorge, a scenic and historic area along the Charles River at the corners of Wellesley, Needham and Newton. While there, you might hear the echo of your own voice and imagine the sounds of a bygone time.
