This weekend is your one chance this spring to take a walk along the Wachusett Dam walkway in Clinton and enjoy the scenery.

The dam walkway will be open Saturday, May 11 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Over the last few years, the state Department of Conservation and Recreation has opened the dam to the public one day each spring and fall.

The walkway, which stretches across the top of the dam, has been closed since the 1990s because of water supply security and public safety concerns.

At Saturday’s event, DCR Watershed Rangers and staff will be around to answer questions.

For security reasons, backpacks, briefcases and large bags will not be allowed. All other items are subject to search.

Anyone looking for more information or directions can call the Wachusett Reservoir Ranger Station at 978-365-3800.
