Bee Hill Hike/Snowshoe
Distance & Difficulty: 2.5 miles, intermediate
Hike Leader: Dana Williams

From the age of ancient oceans to modern day, come learn about the natural and cultural history of Bee Hill as we walk through the fields at Sheep Hill and through the sugar maple grove of Fitch Memorial Woods.

Hike route: We will start at the farmhouse at Sheep Hill and follow the Rosenburg Ramble trail (~0.5 mi) to the top of the hill. From there we will cross the dirt Bee Hill Rd. and take the Fitch Trail to the top of Bee Hill (~1.5 miles) and back down the Running Pines trail. The hike will end going back down the Rosenburg Ramble to the farmhouse.

Parking at Sheep Hill (671 Cold Spring Rd., Williamstown). There are two small-sized gravel parking lot: one is at the bottom of the driveway by the road and the other is behind the farmhouse. There are bathrooms available for use inside the farmhouse.

What to bring: Please check the weather before arriving and bring appropriate clothing (sturdy water/snow proof boots, warm, non-cotton layers, jacket, hats, gloves). Bring water and a snack if needed. Cramp-ons, snowshoes or hiking poles may be recommended if there is ice or snow on the trails. Don’t have snowshoes? Rural Lands has a few pairs to loan for the hike!
