CT & NY Hiking Group

Roxbury Land Trust's Mine Hill Preserve is on the National Register of Historic places - and for good reason! It contains significant stone and brick structural remains associated with a cold
fired blast furnace that reached peak production following the Civil War. There are nine selfguided interpretive stations along the trail, which includes a variety of habits from riverine vegetation and open fields to broadleaf woodlands. The trail passes nearby iron mine tunnels and charcoal hearths associated with the furnace. Bats now hibernate in the mine shafts and a maturing forest covers land once cleared for charcoal. This will be a 6 mile hike rated B with 1,014 ft. Elev. gain

Please wear hiking footwear, and bring as needed: poles, bug spray, backpack, personal first aid and meds, water and snacks.

This trail leads hikers to the summit of Mount Sanford and then returns via the eastern base of the mountain, with an out and back trail to Roaring Brook Falls, which is an 80-foot waterfall. The tallest single-drop waterfall and second tallest overall in Connecticut.

There is some decent incline up the mountain at the start to get the blood pumping. Highlights include stunning views, well-marked trails, and a picturesque overlook.
Challenges cited are rocky terrain and muddy sections. Sturdy hiking boots and bug spray are recommended.
