Saunders Preserve lies atop both the Pattaconk Brook Fault and the Honey Hill Fault, revealing geology in the northern half of the preserve that is fundamentally different from that in the southern half. We will walk about 2 miles, mostly moderate with a few rocky inclines.
The 69.5 acre preserve was acquired by East Haddam Land Trust in 2023 from the family of John and Diana Saunders, longtime East Haddam residents who wished to see the land preserved in perpetuity.
Directions: Follow Rte 82 onto Honey Hill Road. At the first three-way intersection, stay on the center road. Then take a left at the next intersection. It is 1.5 miles from the intersection of Rte 82 and Honey Hill Rd. The parking lot is on the right.
