Indian Trail Bubbling Brook Cave Sortie at Princeton Mt Lake Preserve

Details

3-4 hours, 8-10 miles, brisk pace, mostly trails, some pavement and roads, alleyways,

For part of this hike we explore the really cool Mountain Lake Preserve near Princeton. On one side of the preserve there is a forest with a lake and dam. In other areas there are beautiful meadows and a pond often with many ornate dragonflies. They have a boardwalk too and caves and a wonderful trail next to a babbling brook.
We'll leave the Preserve, walk through the Princeton Day School and explore an incredibly beautiful conifer woods with lakes and water lilies in summer.
On the way back we weave our way through the hidden Indian Trails to the Stuart Day School and woods.
