A guided hike on Opacum Land Trust’s 300-acre Opacum Woods preserve.

Approx. 2.5 miles through woods and uneven terrain. Tour will depart from trail head at end of Old Book Circle.
To get to Opacum Woods, take New Boston Road from Route 20 in Sturbridge, just east of the 131 intersection. Take your fourth right into The Preserve subdivison, and then your second left on to Old Brook Circle. The Trailhead is at the end of the cul-de-sac.
