Great Meadows in Concord

This walk is the most enjoyable way to visit the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, which stretches more than 10 miles along the Concord River. A loop that can typically be done in one hour (but more if you stop frequently to watch wildlife, as will likely be the case), it starts on a large dike across open wetlands, and returns through a path in the woods. An observation tower will give you unobstructed views over the entire area, and a board at the trail head will indicate recent sightings to help you identify birds and other animals on your way.
