Always a huge event. We finally got confirmation it is happening a week from today. Hopefully the fall colors will be in full display: The Department of Conservation and Recreation announces the opening of the top of Wachusett Dam in Clinton for the public to walk across on the afternoon of October 12th, 2014. DCR is responsible for protection of the metropolitan Boston water supply, which includes the Wachusett Reservoir and watershed area. The walkway along the top of the majestic Wachusett Dam has been closed since the 1990s due to water supply security and public safety concerns. DCR Watershed Rangers will be on hand to answer questions and to provide other information on DCR’s watershed protection program. For more information or for directions please contact the Wachusett Reservoir Ranger Station at 978-365-3800. *DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY BACKPACKS, BRIEFCASES, AND OTHER LARGE BAGS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT THIS EVENT. ALL OTHER ITEMS BROUGHT TO THE EVENT MAY BE SUBJECT TO SEARCH*
