Description

The Explore! North Shore hiking series will get you outside and moving at some lesser explored Trustees properties across the Northeast Region, at the right time of year to see these special places shine. These beginner hikes will not be too strenuous, and will offer frequent stops for learning and taking in the beauty of our special places.

Join a guided hike at Moraine Farm to take in the winter wonders of this beautiful lakeside landscape, and learn the rich natural and human history of this special place. This easy/moderate hike will last ~2 hours and cover ~2 miles, over gravel & grass trails with minimal elevation change. While strolling through the woods on the shore of Wenham Lake, you will be transported back in time to when this landscape was formed by glaciers thousands of years ago. Emerge from the woods and stroll the carriage loop of the Phillips family estate, designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead. Learn how the partnership of several families and organizations has allowed for the preservation and public enjoyment of Moraine Farm as a unique cultural, natural, and agricultural resource.
