Hike-Walk the Trails of Eno Preserve & Mt Archer Woods

Hike the trails of Eno Preserve and Mt. Archer Woods before the foliage of spring obscures the wilderness understory and learn about the history of foundations of the abandoned 19th Century hamlet deep in the forest. Then continue down the Yellow Trail and take an off-trail detour over the brow of Mt. Archer to the promontory overlooking Hamburg Cove and the Connecticut River. The group will then return to the trail and loop back to Mt. Archer Road through the Eno preserve. This walk will take 2-3 hours and will be moderately difficult because there will be some off-trail hiking. Bring a snack to enjoy as we sit and take in the view from Mt. Archer’s prominence above the colonial hamlet of Hamburg. Rain date is Sunday, March 27. Meet at the entrance to Mt Archer Wood Preserve on Mt. Archer Road, which is one mile west of intersection of Rt. 156 and Mt Archer Road.
