!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

We will walk about 2.5 miles. This beautiful property was once a horse farm. A highlight of the hike is Rook’s Meadow and Jimmy’s Pond.

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 led by Wendy Hill, Open Space Coordinator of Lyme and the Vice President of Lyme Land Trust. The walks are moderate, dirt paths with some uneven footing and moderate hills, unless noted. Paced to the group. Bring a walking stick, water bottle and dress for the weather.
