On Saturday, September 8, from 10 to 11:30am, Beth Lapin will be offering a hike at the Spiderweed Preserve through Middletown's Recreation Division. We will investigate a little known 150 acre preserve that was the former summer retreat of a New York actress. Come on a moderate walk along the loop trail, with a few side spurs and a few steep areas. We will explore pegmatite outcrops with long-range views and follow colonial stone walls that demark old fields and roadways. Wear hiking shoes (some wet areas), bring a snack and water, camera, binoculars if desired.
Directions: take Saybrook Road south from Randolph Road to Dripps Road on the left (just before the auto body shop). The trail head starts in 500 feet on the left at the bend in Dripps Road (GPS address: 60 Dripps Rd)
Please email (Beth@HealingNatureCT.com) if you are planning to join. Questions that morning: 860 262 2788. This trip will be cancelled if inclement weather.
