About this Event
Since 1999, Babes in the Woods is the Friends of the Fells’ free popular weekday family hiking program. Caregivers carrying babies are welcome on these fun guided hikes through the Middlesex Fells Reservation. Babes in the Woods is an adult-paced hike designed for parents who carry their children. These hikes are not recommended for young children who walk.
We recommend that you bring along snacks and drinks, and make sure to dress for the weather—depending on the season, some trails may be muddy or icy in spots.
- The location changes weekly.
- Pre-registration is required.
- Please note that hikes are not accessible for strollers.
- For our participants' comfort, we don't allow dogs to hike with us.
- Our walks are canceled only in case of bad weather: too hot, too cold, or too rainy.
- We have extra yaktrax/microspikes for icy days.
- We have extra child carriers of various sizes, for anyone who has forgotten theirs or doesn’t have one. Please email us (babesinthewoods at fells dot org) or call (617) 334-5383 by the morning of the hike to reserve one.
