Start: 2024-12-07T11:00:00-05:00
End: 2024-12-08T14:00:00-05:00

Meet at Beach Pond on the CT RI border in Voluntown.. we will hike into RI’s huge Arcadia Wildlife Management area to Mount Tom, along the Wood River, past Stepstone Falls and then back into Pachaug to the Dawley Pond Campsite for the night. I would expect the mileage to be 10+ on Saturday and about 8 on Sunday. You should have some experience backpacking and have the proper equipment.
