Connor Mill Trail Walk (Sandy Stream) - Unity

On this waterway walk, the Sandy Stream is the star, offering many scenic views; near the opening are supposed to be remnants of an old mill. The opening pathways are narrow and follow the banks of the stream, where they later widen a bit. Along the way, we'll cross some wooden bridges.

This trail is a little more rustic than some of our recent walks, with some slightly hilly sections (mostly near the start).

We'll walk the Sandy Stream section (until the end of the blue blazes) and head back -- beyond this point, directions can get a little confusing; the hillier Upland loop part, which would lengthen the route, features many rocks and roots and some shaky "boardwalks."

Overall, the trail is mostly dirt, and some sections have tall grass. Flies and other buzzing insects might be around. Given this and the terrain, I highly recommend you bring/wear repellent, walking shoes, and long pants. See the photos for more details.

Length: 45 minutes or so, depending on our pace.

Where We'll Meet: In the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot at 178 Main St.; we'll go from there to the trailhead with the wooden kiosk (pictured) at 32 Main St.
