The November full moon is called the Beaver Moon. It is also a supermoon\, making it appear larger and brighter than a typical full moon because it will be at its closest point to Earth. Participants will enjoy a short evening hike and gazing upon the moon over Squam Lake. We will meet at the West Rattlesnake Mountain Trailhead Parking Lot and hit the trail at 7:00 PM.All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Participants will enjoy a short evening hike and gazing upon the moon over Squam Lake.
