MethuenRailTrail

Haverhill recently produced a delightful pocket trail guide, and it was very nice of Mark Sheehan, their Conservation Officer to drop a copy off for me to review. All it did was make me jealous as it’s more elaborate than I expected and certainly well worth the ten dollar cover price.

Each trail gets a foldout page that not only has great maps, directions and legends, they have also gone so far as to include suggested walks, area history, sections on the wildlife, botany and geology of each area.

The book covers eleven trails in Haverhill, but it has lots of extra pages, such as the activity index, that show much care was put into it. I especially like the page with the animal tracks.

It is available at the Haverhill Conservation Office, the Haverhill Public Library and other select venues around the city.
