David Foley Realty: wompatuck park

How are you planning to relax and enjoy your holiday weekend? I hear the weather is going to be perfect, so I will be outdoors bike riding at Wompatuck State Park in Hingham. Heavily wooded Wompatuck has a large system of paved bike trails covering a network of abandoned railroad which can be enjoyed by riders of all abilities. The land was once used as an ammunition depot during World War ll. Many features from this period remain visible, though most of it has become overgrown with trees. I hear there is also an old rail spur which has recently been converted to a bike path, linking Wompatuck to the Cohasset Commuter Rail Station. I have not found this path yet, but, maybe I will explore this weekend!

Not up for a bike ride? Join me at the Braintree Farmers Market Clam & Lobster Feast! This Saturday, September 1, in conjunction with the Farmers' Market at the Braintree Town Hall; you can enjoy a freshly prepared New England Clam & Lobster Feast with veggies from the Market farmers. All items are a-la-carte and include little necks, steamers and stuffed quahogs. Also being served will be clam chowder, lobster bisque & lobster rolls. Tables and chairs will be provided under the Events Tent. The Clam & Lobster Feast has become a much-anticipated tradition at the Braintree Farmers Market. They will even have live music by the very talented Aaron Belyea, owner of A Street Music, on bass and Paul Chase on saxophone.
