* Gamlin Crystal Springs Conservation Area Hike

Gamlin Crystal Springs Conservation Area Hike
Sunday, May 4, 2014, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in Groton

Join members of the Groton Trails Committee on a guided hike on the Indian Rock Trail and the Boulders Trail of the Gamlin Crystal Springs Conservation Area in Groton, owned by the Groton Conservation Trust. This is a beautiful parcel accessed via skillfully routed trails and features dense woods, rocky outcrops, beaver ponds, huge boulders, and an old "lost" quarry. The hike will take about 2 hours and is suitable for families with children. Dogs must be under owner’s control or leashed if requested. Wear comfortable hiking shoes as there are some short rocky sections.  The hike will be held unless it is very stormy.  We will meet at the trail head on Old Dunstable Road.  Take Lowell Road (Rt. 40) to Old Dunstable Road; proceed north on Old Dunstable Road passing the intersection with Bridge Street after 1.25 miles, then continue for another 0.25 miles on Old Dunstable Road. The trail head and parking are on your left, just past the sign for the Gamlin Conservation Area.  For more information, contact Dave Minott at 978-448-9573 or DMinott@charter.net.
