This 150+-acre preserve provides moderate to strenuous hiking. Mid-June is mountain laurel blossom time and Renee Smith has included this site, along with a few others, in her informative blog.
Descriptions, maps, and directions:https://www.oldlymelandtrust.org/upper-three-mile-river
REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
HIKING HINTS is a program of the MIDDLETOWN CT REC office. Follow them on Facebook.
