Come out for a fantastic 2.8 mile moderate woodland hike led by a Kent Land Trust guide and a representative from the LWA hiking committee. Saturday, October 7th at 10:00 AM. Register here: bit.ly/registerforhike (Registration is required to communicate weather-related changes).

Learn the fascinating history of this property and its myriad caretakers, see how the Kent Land Trust is working to restore and nurture native habitats. The 2.8 mile long lollypop-shaped loop trail leads downhill to the west for some length, then turns south following the slope contour, to an abandoned apple orchard. It finally turns east, looping back to a junction that returns to the starting place over the same steep terrain. The small unnamed stream flowing downward first feeds Irving Pond, then Bull Mountain Brook, enroute to the Housatonic River several miles away. KLT's Iron Mountain Preserve.

Where to meet? Access to Iron Mountain Preserve is from a small parking lot near the junction of Flat Rock Road and Treasure Hill Roads in South Kent. Parking on Treasure Hill. Entrance to the trail is from the north of the parking area. Click here for the preserve map.

Please wear sturdy footwear, and bring a water bottle and your curiosity.
