Description

Join us for a hike across Magnolia Woods to the oceanside cliffs of Rafe’s Chasm!

This 3-mile round trip hike takes us through a 300-acre area of woodlands owned by the City of Gloucester (across the street from Ravenswood Park), out to Rafe’s Chasm, which features spectacular views of the ocean from rocky cliffs.

Allow approximately 2.5 hours for the trip, which includes ample time to stop and take in the ocean views at Rafe’s Chasm before heading back on the trail through Magnolia woods to our starting point.

Special Instructions

Please wear good hiking footwear, and bring water, insect repellent, and snacks, as needed. Also, you may want to bring trekking poles if you use them. The terrain is moderate with minor rolling hills and uneven footing with rocks and roots.

Weather Restrictions

In the event of rain, the hike may be rescheduled, and an email notification will go out by 7AM prior to the hike. Our rain date will be Saturday, 9/28.
