Early Morning Leaf Peeping: Doublehead Hike October 12th

Wednesday 7-11am 

Location: Meet at the meet at Doublehead Trailhead on Thompson Road off of Route 113. This trail is located on the Doublehead Preserve which is owned by the Squam Lakes Conservation Society whose mission is to preserve the unique quality and character of the Squam Lakes watershed for future and present generations.

Registration: Space is limited to 10 people. Registration required. https://squamlakes.org/node/212

This Week's Program: Who doesn't love a chilly, crisp, fall morning hike? Join the Squam Lakes Association for a hike up to Doublehead Mountain (2,158’ summit) via the Doublehead Trail. This moderately intense, 3-mile hike will begin at sunrise. Once we reach the summit, we’ll have time for a snack, warm drinks and of course photos as we take a break on the Doublehead ledge, which offers some of the best views of the Squam Range especially this time of year with the autumn colors.

What to Bring: Hikers should come prepared with weather-appropriate hiking gear (lots of layers, rain gear, and extra socks/shirts/hats/etc.), headlamp, snack, and water. A thermos of something warm to drink might be nice too. Bring trekking poles if you’d like.

Audience: All ages are welcome, but this hike can be strenuous—moderately steep stretches are intermixed with relatively flat sections. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Join us for a wine tasting experience like no other in New England in our newly renovated Loft! Bob Manley, Co-Founder at Hermit Woods Winery, will share with you his wealth of knowledge and experience in the crafting of Hermit Woods wines and wine appreciation. There is a story in every bottle, and Bob will share those stories with you along with the many adventures the Hermit Woods team has experienced bringing their winery to life over the past ten years. Bob and his partners have traveled the world in their ever-growing quest to understand better wine and the craft of producing it. Bob will bring this experience to light during this 45 minute to an hour-long presentation.

Included in the presentation will be the opportunity to sample seven of Hermit Woods’ finest wines, a slide show of imagery, and video depicting the winemaking process from fruit to bottle.
