!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

We will walk up on the paved road or sidewalk to the Castle terrace to see the beautiful view of the CT River and the Hadlyme Ferry. Then we will explore the easy dirt path route that was once a narrow gauge train trail. About 1 mile.

Directions: Enter Gillette Castle State Park at 67 River Rd, East Haddam, CT. Meet at the main parking lot by the Visitor Center.

Reservations are required.  Please email Caitlin Perkins at cperkins@oldlyme-ct.gov or call (860)434-1605 ext. 241. Free to Lyme’s Senior Center members. $5 for non-members.

On the 3rd Wednesday of each month (unless noted) the group will get together at various hiking areas in Lyme and Old Lyme.  Hikes will be lead by Wendy Hill, Open Space Coordinator of Lyme and the Vice President of Lyme Land Trust. The walks are easy, fairly flat dirt paths with some uneven footing, unless noted. Gentle pace. About 1 mile. Bring a walking stick, water bottle and dress for the weather. Inclement weather cancels.

Sponsored with the Lyme’s Senior Center.
