Hike Osbornedale State Park

Geology Hike of Osbornedale State Park

Within the forested woodland of Osbornedale State Park are interesting geological features including 200 million year old lava flows, abandoned mines and quarries, and a natural spring.  Observe rocks that were folded and fractured.  Look for quartz, feldspar, and biotite minerals. 

Meet at Kellogg Environmental Center for a hike to view these features and learn about the geologic history of the park and Connecticut.
