Mt. Higby, on Route 66, about a quarter-mile west of the junction with Higby Road (Red Dog Saloon), look for an unmarked driveway on the right (north) with an orange cone that leads to the reservoir leads to the reservoir (west of the driveway with mail box #238 Route 66, Middlefield). Follow it to the buildings and park. Bring your camera, a great area for birding and views. We will have a rare opportunity to access the Mattabesett Trail through the city's water department lands that include Higby and Adder Reservoirs.
Time: 10:00 am ~ lasts 3.5 hours. This is a more difficult hike due to length and steepness.
