CT Trails Day Hike- June 1, 2019


 

 

EXPLORE FOWLER-GRINDSTONE PRESERVE,

A DEEP GREEN BEAUTY

 

 

There  will be an early Summer hike within the woods of Fowler-Grindstone Preserve in North Stonington.  The date is June 1, 2019, Saturday morning, at 10:00 am.

 

Explore this 75-acre forest with its rows of ancient stone walls, 2 enormous glacial erratics (one of them has a stairway to the top), the

confluence of Pendleton Hill and Hetchel Swamp Brooks, both of which are now part of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Amendment, narrow foot paths winding through deep forests, rocky outcroppings, and an old logging road.

 

Tim Crandall and Bill Hixson will be the leaders for the approximate 2 mile walk.  Meet at Fowler Road, off of Grindstone Hill Rd., look for the “Upper Trail” sign on right side of road, park either within that drive or along the roadside.

 

Dogs with leashes are welcome.  Rain cancels.  Pre-registration is not necessary.  Call:  860-245-4340 or 860-599-5731 with questions.

 

All are welcome!
