Join Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Maine Health’s Community Health program for a Happy Wanderers Hike, Thursday, March 5, at 10 a.m., at Head of Tide Preserve in Belfast. All are welcome.

This hike is a moderate 1.5-mile loop trail along the Passagassawakeag River. Hikers will have an opportunity to add another mile of hiking on the Stover preserve, across the street from the Head of Tide, according to CMLT, in a news release. These trails travel along the high banks of the river with stretches of extensive bog bridging that wind through hemlock groves and by old-field pines.

Happy Wanderers meet on the first Thursday of each month. Each outing is led by a Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Community Health staff member.
