The yellow trail traverses North Woods Hill, the Highest Point in Lyme.. This 3-mile hike has some inclines. Exertion level: moderate.

Sunday, November 8, 1-3pm: Woodland Wander

East Haddam Land Trust directors will lead the hike through two small but mighty preserves - Walls Way and the R. Smith Preserve, EHLT's newest preserve. These parcels connect Miller Farm Preserve with the town of East Haddam's Lena Reserve, creating a large greenway of about 300 acres. The hike will go from Walls Way and R. Smith preserves into a section of the Lena Reserve. Participants should meet at the Miller Farm Preserve parking area on Tater Hill Road, opposite Walls Way. Leashed dogs are welcome. Hikers are encouraged to bring a light snack to share for a post-hike tailgate. EHLT will provide refreshments.
