POP UP ADVENTURE: Super Bowl Saturday Walk & After Pawty

**Tickets on sale starting February 1st for the Community.**

ABOUT THE EVENT:
This event is part of a series of adventures that “pop up” on the calendar throughout the year. It gives members the opportunity to get out more and enjoy fresh air and friends.

Join us on Super Bowl Saturday (not Sunday) for a walk on the Derry Rail Trail and the after pawty at Fody’s Tavern in Derry. Have your dog dress up in their favorite team jersey and walk with us through Derry town center to Bowers Road where we will attempt to access the Quail Hill Conservation Area (dependent upon snow amounts). The walk will be approximately 3.4 miles round trip on a mostly paved, easy walking path that is plowed in winter.

According to the Derry Rail Trail Alliance, there are lesser known “secret” areas along the trail where you can jump off onto “side trails” thru the woods for a nice peaceful walk thru nature. One of the hidden “gems” in Derry is the Quail Hill Conservation Area. This Conservation Property actually abuts the Rail Trail just north of Bowers Road crossing. You can enter the area by following the footsteps painted on the trail as part of the Robert Frost Poem. We will go in search of the “one less traveled by”.

This trail is rated Level 1. It is wide, flat, and paved. There may be some narrower trails and a few inclines on our way to Quail Hill Conservation Area.
