For our May hike, we'll explore North Andover's Salem Pond. Far from the beaten path, Salem Pond is situated deep in Harold Parker State Forest, accessible only on foot. One of the forest's 9 man-made ponds, it was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 1930s.

We'll meet at 1pm from the park headquarters parking area on Middleton Rd in North Andover. (Not the pavilion or Berry Pond parking areas.) For GPS, use 305 Middleton Rd North Andover.)

Our walks are free and family friendly, and usually last about two hours. Heavy rain cancels. Dogs must be leashed.
