Explore sites of canoeing activity from the early 20th century and the proposed new Riverside Trail System by following some old pathways from the Lasell Boathouse to the former MDC Police Station on Commonwealth Avenue (where we will look inside). For those interested, after returning to the Lasell Boathouse, the walk will continue south to Riverside Station and across I-95 to the Leo J. Martin Golf Course.This second portion of the walk lasts approximately one hour and has more challenging terrain.

Meet at the Lasell Boathouse, 107 Charles St., Auburndale.
