Harvard Trail: Delaney Flood Control Site

My husband and I have been diligently hitting the trails ever since the stay at home advisory has been issued. There’s no doubt that we have cabin fever. We’d pick out a trail at approximately 4pm each day, weather permitting, and take an hour’s walk.

There would also be days were we would drive aimlessly all around the suburbs. Time spent with a loved one does not get any higher in quality or non-productivity.

We’ve pretty much exhausted all the trails in Boxborough, so on a bright, cheery and warm(er) Sunday, we decided it was time we expand our horizons!

Delaney Flood Control Site

The Delaney Flood Control Site is a whooping 577 acres that spans across Harvard, Stow and Bolton. Finn Road divides the trails into a North and South portion. These are photos taken of the Southern trails.
