This is a 7 mile hike which captures the essence of Stony Creek and it's marsh views and the Thimble Islands. The hike starts in the Creek and proceeds North into the Hoadley Creek Preserve with its interesting glacial rocks and remnants of old quarry activity. We then will continue into Branford Quarry by way of my "Jurassic Park" experience. We will view the current quarry activity and visit a section of the quarry dating back to the mid 19th century. We will have a short 3 mile car spot to the beginning of our hike. Please meet by 9:15 for a prompt 9:30 start. RAIN CANCELS
Parking is on Quarry Road off of 146 approximately 1 mile.
