Hike Moore Trail , Lyme, CT.
Details
This will be a 9 mile, intermediate level hike, on the Moore Trail in Lyme CT. The topographical maps show only moderate changes in elevation. It is a very pretty place. The trail is well marked and maps are available.
If you are interested is increasing your distance and endurance this is a great hike. Please don't be intimidated by the mileage. The terrain is more rolling than steep. I also have options to shorten the route.
Please bring a pack and include plenty of water, snacks, a hat, bug spray, salt replacements, camera. Please no cotton. Wear synthetic clothing that will wick the sweat away. I always recommend waterproof hiking boots.
The parking area is a little funky. It is grass near a farm. Not completely flat with some rocks. I will try to check it out before everyone arrives.
Well behaved and leashed dogs are welcome. Please no children.
About the hike: From the parking lot we will proceed northeast on the red trail through the Jewett preserve, then south and west on various trails in the Pleasant Valley Preserve. There is a short 1/4 mile road walk on Mt Archer road, then south into Mt Archer Woods and Eno Preserve for the final two miles, which brings us back to the parking lot.
