Join us for CT Trails Day at the Mine Hill Preserve for a 3.5 miles long guided hike lead by our Board of Director, Marc Olivieri.  The group will walk our Main Loop (blue blazes) which runs along the perimeter of the preserve.  Clockwise, the trail ascends up the Donkey Trail and passes by two mine tunnels and a series of grated air shafts, which now serve as entryways to several bat hibernacula. The trail then begins its descent past an abandoned quarry, the old Quarry Bridge and a larger abandoned quarry. It eventually joins a dirt road (Hodge Road) and ends at the furnace complex.

The Main Loop is moderately difficult with some steep climbs and rocky terrain.  Please wear appropriate footwear and insect repellant.
