Hike Mattabesett and Reservoir Loop Trails

DUE TO THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY, OUR HIKE IS BEING MOVED TO SUNDAY. REMEMBER TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK!

November 4, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. join The Rockfall Foundation for a 2.6 mile hike on the Mattabesett and Reservoir Loop Trails in Middletown, CT. Hike around a beautiful reservoir plus a spur to an overlook and Rock Pile Cave. Moderately difficult terrain at a fast pace, with a few steep open rock faces. Must be comfortable with hand-assisted scrambling.

Free. Non-members welcome. Experienced hikers only. No dogs, please. Bring sturdy hiking boots/shoes, snacks and water, and optionally, trekking poles. Steady rain cancels.

Meet at 9:30 a.m. at the dirt lot at the intersection of routes 9, Randolph Rd. (route 155), and Coe Ave. (GPS: 41.534419, -72.617770). We will then carpool to the trailhead a mile away. Note, our return time will entirely depend upon the hiking pace of the group.

From the North: Take Route 9 South to exit 11. Turn right onto CT-155E/Randolph Rd. The dirt carpool lot is 450 feet on your right.

From the South: Take Route 9 North to exit 11. The dirt carpool lot is immediately on your left at the end of the ramp.

RSVP encouraged, but not required, to hike leader Amanda Kenyon by 11/2: amanda@rockfallfoundation.org
