A portion of the Patrell Preserve is in Lyme and part in East Haddam. There is a 0.3 mile ADA compliant blacktop path leading from the parking lot to a foot bridge over the Eightmile River. Depending upon group, we will walk the fairly easy 1-mile red dirt trail loop which follows three thousand feet along the Eightmile River and has interesting geological features.
Directions: Take 156 to Baker Lane in Lyme, about 7.7 miles north of Halls Road/Rte 156 traffic light in Old Lyme. Go 0.5 miles. Turn left into Chapel Farm Preserve parking lot, 11 Baker Lane, East Haddam.
Reservations are required. Please email Caitlin Perkins at cperkins@oldlyme-ct.gov or call (860)434-1605 ext. 241. Free to Lyme’s Senior Center members. $5 for non-members.
On the 3rd Wednesday of each month (unless noted) the group will get together at various hiking areas in Lyme and Old Lyme. Hikes will be lead by Wendy Hill, Open Space Coordinator of Lyme and the Vice President of Lyme Land Trust. The walks are easy, fairly flat dirt paths with some uneven footing, unless noted. Gentle pace. About 1 mile. Bring a walking stick, water bottle and dress for the weather. Inclement weather cancels.
Sponsored with the Lyme’s Senior Center.
