10 am Walk on the Brook Path - Joint with Newton at Home
About this event
Come for a Midmorning Walk on the Brook Path!
**This is a joint program with Newton at Home.**
Join us for a leisurely walk along Wellesley’s scenic Brook Path, a beautiful wooded trail that winds alongside Fuller Brook. This gentle stroll with friends from Newton at Home is a wonderful way to enjoy nature, good conversation, and the connection between our two communities.
Brook Path Northern Section to Maugus Avenue
2.0 miles, 1 hour & 15 minutes (you can modify this as you desire - longer or shorter)
Location and Parking
Park at the State Street parking lot at State Street trail crossing.
Directions
From the center of town, head northeast on Washington Street (Route 16) for 0.5 miles, and turn right onto State Street. Follow State Street for 0.1 mi and the parking lot is on your left.
Walk Description
We start our walk on the stone dust path along the edge of the parking lot and walk right toward the Wellesley High School fields. Following the path past the stadium, you leave the Fuller Brook, then cross Rice Street and continue on the sidewalk along Caroline Brook. At Paine Street the path enters a wetland along Caroline Brook, crosses wetlands on boardwalks and then crosses over the brook on an extended footbridge.
After crossing Forest Street, walk along a tree lined section that crosses Caroline Road.
Cross Seaward Road and the path continues to Maugus Avenue, and ends on Washington Street in Wellesley Hills.
We will then turn around and retrace our steps along the Brook Path back to the State Street parking lot.
