Join WTS CT for an outing on the Charter Oak Greenway in Bolton and Manchester. We are planning to welcome a mixed group of walkers, bicyclists, strollers if you want to bring a young one. The route will be an out and back trip beginning at the Bolton Commuter Lot heading west along a paved multi-use trail to a stop at Highland Park Market for a snack break. The trip is anticipated to take 3-4 hours and is approximately 6 miles total. Breaks are anticipated to be taken at points of interest along the route to take a drink and eat or take photos.
