| Heading out from Powissett Street |
I made the last-minute decision to join Papa Joe on his hike
at Noanet Woods in Dover.
Over the years, Noanet Woods has seen many uses from a
Native American hunting ground to the Dover Union Iron Mill that manufactured
barrel hoops and nails in the early 1800’s. In 1923, Amelia Peabody purchased the nearby Powissett Farm,
and over the next six decades acquired hundreds of acres of open space,
including the Noanet Woods.

| View of Boston from Noanet Peak |
Noanet Woods has 17 miles of trails adjacent to the Hale
Reserve. We started our hike at
the Powissett Street entrance, and hiked into the Hale Reserve and the Noanet
Pond. From there, we hiked over to
the Mill Ponds to check out the old mill site and dam. Then, we hiked up to the Noanet Peak to
check out the view of Boston before heading back to the cars.
We were on the trail by 8:00 and done by 11:00. Great day.
