Hiking Club
6/25/26: Email us if you want to be added to the email thread for casual summer hiking with people from the group. :) reccom@northfieldma.gov
This Fall 2026, we will aim for a weekly hiking schedule of: Wednesdays at 10am with Fridays at 10am as a rain date/back up.
This new Hiking Club by the Northfield Recreation Commission is in honor of past Recreation Commission members, Northfield residents and hiking enthusiasts: Sam and Barb Richardson!
NEW for HIKING CLUB 2026: DOGS WILL BE ALLOWED on hikes (unless specified in prior email due to location, conditions, etc.)! However your dog MUST be people/animal friendly and MUST be on-leash at all times and be able to be in control at all times. We also ask that you keep them distant from hiking participants who are not overly fond of dogs. THANK YOU!
Hiking Club will go spring (once weather is decent in April to first week of June) and in the fall (Sept to first week of November). Once a week for about 1.5 hours.
Free to anyone who wants to join! You can just show up too, but registering for the year is helpful for waivers and also you will get an email in case of cancellations :)
Please dress appropriately, bring water, cell phone, medications you may need, bug repellent, sunscreen and hiking sticks if you want!
A moderate hike. Not too easy but not too hard either. Adults can opt to split from group for a shorter/longer hike, or break off into another group. Kids under 18 must be accompanied by an adult unless given prior authorization by the hike leader.
